Malcolm Ingram
Malcolm Ingram (Director / Producer) While on assignment for Film Threat magazine, Ingram met filmmaker Kevin Smith (Chasing Amy, Dogma, Clerks), who soon became his mentor. Smith financed Ingram's first feature film, "Drawing Flies," starring rising talent Jason Lee. Shot in the summer of 1995, the comedy found success on the Festival circuit and was released on DVD. Ingram's next feature, "Tail Lights Fade" featured a high profile, talented cast including Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Elizabeth Berkeley and Margot Kidder. The film, a delirious action-comedy-drama, was released by Trimark/Lions Gate in 1999.
His third film, the documentary "Small Town Gay Bar," has screened at over 100 film festivals around the globe. Making its world premiere at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, the film received a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize and went on to get a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Best Documentary. It also garnered multiple awards including the HBO Award for Best Documentary at the Miami LGBT Film Festival and the Grand Jury Award at Outfest in Los Angeles. Ingram's next film project, "Bear Nation," premiered at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival and played over 50 film festivals before winning the Best Documentary at the Atlanta International Film Festival.
His most recent documentary "Continental," that tells the story of the infamous NYC gay landmark that started the careers of Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Patti LaBelle and Frankie Knuckles while serving as a cultural and political hub, premiered to sell-out audiences at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival. It has since gone on to win awards and screen at festivals including the Hot Docs International Documentary Festival, Outfest, Frameline, Palm Springs International Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival and 2013 BAM Cinemafest.
He is currently finishing his fourth documentary, "Out To Win" about gay people in sports.
