As Outfest continues to grow and expand the scope of our festivals we must also continue to grow in our leadership and advocacy for our community. Our mission is clear, we create visibility to diverse LGBTQIA+ stories and empower storytellers, building empathy to drive meaningful social change. As we drive and advance such change in Hollywood and beyond, we must also continue to support our artists and filmmakers with the resources necessary to ensure their long-term success. To that end, Outfest has made the difficult, but necessary, decision to increase our membership rates for 2023, effective May 15th.
We understand that for many of you, Outfest is like an extension of your family and that our festivals and screenings can in many instances be the highlight of your year. We are committed to providing our members with the best possible experience and hope that these new changes will not hinder your renewed support and commitment to our work. With the new rates rolling out in advance of our 2023 Outfest Los Angeles LGBTQ+ Film Festival (July 13-23) we are encouraging all of our members to consider renewing their membership early this year to lock in their rates before they increase. We will continue to honor past memberships if you have already renewed this year, and will work with you to ensure these changes are smooth and easy to navigate.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at membership@outfest.org. Below are the new Outfest Membership rates for 2023:
