But for me, Pride hits a little differently. While many proudly enjoyed movies celebrating queer icons or watched movies about notable moments in the advancement of civil rights, I spent another year wondering whether or not I was a valid or legitimate member of the LGTBQIA+ community. Why would I feel such a thing? Because I am asexual (often shortened as “ace”), someone that experiences little to no sexual attraction to anyone. Contrary to popular belief, the “A” in LGBTQIA+ does not stand for “ally,” but actually for “asexual, aromantic, and agender,” so technically, I should have no qualms in proudly and confidently accepting my place within the “Alphabet Mafia.” However, with only about 1-4% of the global population identifying as asexual, there has long been a struggle to see any representation of asexuali...

  by Daniel Andrade After a successful inaugural year, SkySoft Fest (SSF) returned this year, once again virtually. The convention was compressed into one day instead of two this time around, but that didn’t mean it was any less exciting or full of excellent interviews and showcases. So what did you miss?

SkySoft 's family is about to get bigger with a 3 season order of their newest addition to their Premium lineup, American Malice . According to Dionysus Talent Management , the project is a fully-formed idea with SkySoft legend, Monroe Hayden and newcomer Barry Fitzgerald working together as writers and producers. The series centers around an asexual female lawyer with a killer secret. It's become a trademark at this point with Hayden written projects to have less represented female characters lead her films and it's reported to be one of the few productions to feature an official asexual character as the star.  The series is rated TV-MA for horror and gore, and is due in 2023 competing with Stream 's first feature film, Mayari , starring Jade Vourkari and premiering before SkySoft's most anticipated limited series, Beast , starring Bryon Allen .
