Come celebrate Pride Month with us on Wednesday, June 6th with our besties Tim Gunn, David Sedaris, Margaret Cho and George Takei! Perhaps they wont be here in person, but they are featured at this month’s doc night. LOW RES is extremely excited to present a Sundance Select doc, Do I Sound Gay? Directed by journalist David Thorpe, this film explores the cultural history of the gay voice in film and television.

Before starting the doc, we’re welcoming storytellers of OUTspoken! The group has been sharing their uniquely personal LGBTQ stories at their monthly show at Sidetrack over the last 5 years.

Doors open at 6:45pm! As always, snacks provided and our friends at Half Acre are taking care of the beer. If beer’s not your thing, feel free to BYO.

ABOUT THE FILM
Is there such a thing as a "gay voice"? Why do some people "sound gay" but not others? Why are gay voices a mainstay of pop culture but also a trigger for bullying and harassment? Do I Sound Gay? explores these questions and more and includes revealing interviews with Margaret Cho, Tim Gunn, Don Lemon, Dan Savage, David Sedaris and George Takei.

Navigating through life’s emotional, surprise-filled, zigzagging journey can be an exhausting and isolating effort. This path towards adulthood is filled with more unrest and challenges than your social feed portrays (#blessed). But what if we were to share these personal stories?

Join us in the Studio on Sunday, June 3rd as we welcome writer & illustrator Mari Andrew to share her story of working through life's difficult challenges. Moderated by our dear friend Anjali Pinto, we’ll hear about Mari’s creative journey and how she turned her life’s detours into an amazing body of work that is equal parts hilarious and real.

We’ll also get the chance to talk about Mari’s new book: Am I There Yet?, a collection of brand new doodles & stories dedicated to her personal journey. If you don’t have the book yet - we’ve got you covered! City Lit Books will be selling copies that you can have signed by the author.

As summer arrives and Chicago finally turns bright, warm and green again, it's time to ask yourself: What sort of creative person will I be this summer? How do I want my creativity to impact the world? What's it all for, anyway?

Next Thursday, you're invited to spend an evening talking face to face with the hosts of the Creative Muscle at our live podcast recording event at Low Res Studio, featuring an exciting LIVE interview with celebrity chef and entrepreneur Stephanie Izard, the Iron Chef and James Beard award-winning force of nature who has stolen the hearts (and appetites) of Chicago's West Loop with nationally-celebrated restaurants Girl & the Goat, Little Goat, and Duck Duck Goat.

Jumpstart your summer, cross paths with like-minded artists, learn from the best, and fuel up for your innovative endeavors at this vital and engaging meet-up for Chicago's creative class. To top it all off, there will be a live performance from Praytell.

But wait, there's more-- We'd like to open the evening by featuring...you! Send us a 15-second video answering the question: How Do You Want Your Creativity to Impact the World? Send us your perspective, your vision, and your hopes for your creative work. Let your voice be heard! We hope to see you there, both on the screen telling about your work, and in person as we join together as a united community of makers in the Windy City.

After the McCallisters mistakenly leave for the airport without Kevin, he awakens to an empty house and assumes his wish to have no family has come true.

Now alone in the Big Apple, Kevin cons his way into a room at the Plaza Hotel and begins his usual antics.
