ATX Television Festival has announced that the cast and crew of Queer as Folk will reunite in Austin, TX at the TV-centric festival. Creators Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman and cast members Gale Harold (Brian Kinney), Peter Paige (Emmitt Honeycutt), Robert Grant (Professor Ben Bruckner), Scott Lowell (Ted Schmidt), Michelle Clunie (Melanie Marcus), and Thea Gill (Lindsey Peterson) will all be in attendance to celebrate the show's ten year anniversary.
"We're extremely proud to bring Queer as Folk to the Festival this year. We strive for diverse and revolutionary programming, and this groundbreaking series changed the game for cable television in 2000, marking a high point not only for the LGBT community, but for socially important storytelling", said ATX Festival co-executive directors and co-founders Caitlin McFarland and Emily Gipson.
The Queer as Folk reunion joins the already announced Gilmore Girls reunion and the Dawson's Creek writer's room reunion. This year's festival takes place in Austin, TX from June 5-7, 2015.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
