Queer short shops for support

Independent Australian filmmaker Melissa Azizi is raising funds for a new short film called Shopping. The queer-themed short is a poetic story about two women who finally embrace love after a lifetime of missed opportunities. It’s set in one grocery aisle over four different time periods. Azizi is looking to raise a final $1500 so she can begin shooting the film, starring Julia Billington (pictured) and Emma Palmer, next month.

You can donate at the film’s Australian Cultural Fund profile at www.bit.ly/p5AnDd

For that, you’ll receive a special thanks in the credits, a DVD of the film, an invitation to the cast and crew screening, and comfort in the knowledge that you’ve helped get a gay and lesbian story on screen.
