Ryan Evans was recently named community outreach director for OUT TAKES Dallas. The
LGBT film festival has been presenting films of interest to the LGBT community for 10 years.
This year, OUT TAKES Dallas is presenting a monthly screening on the second Thursday of
each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Magnolia Theatre.
IWhen you are not promoting LGBT films, what do you do?
Currently I am the door manager for Station 4 on the weekends. I have been employed
with Caven Enterprises since last October. Monday through Saturday I am running my
family business over in Fort Worth, which is a small, new-age retail gift store. I'm also
working on an associate's degree in criminal justice at the University of Phoenix.
2 How did you become involved in OUT TAKES?
I met the new managing director, Phillip Archer, at MetroBall [a fundraiser for Greg
Dollgener Memorial AIDS Fund] a few months ago. I was looking to branch out more
here in Dallas and had been with Q Cinema in Fort Worth for the last four years as PR
director and Dallas liaison. When Phillip asked me to come on board, I couldn't refuse.
3 What are your favorite types of films?
I actually have an affinity for all types of GLBT films, although I'm partial to "coming
out" stories, I had such a hellacious time with family and it was just very depressing.
Nine years later things are extremely improved and my family ties are very strong.
Watching those stories that I can relate to reminds me that I did what was right for me.
4What do you plan to do in your position as community outreach director?
I am so excited about taking on this role in our community. OUT TAKES Dallas is a
community organization that offers something wholesome for the entire DFW area to
come and enjoy with friends and family. I plan to employ the newest strategies, latest mar-
keting technology, and help to restructure the "feel and look" of OUT TAKES Dallas entire-
ly. We have new goals and a certain demographic we want to reach, and we will definitely
do so by leaps and bounds. Most of all, my job to get out there in person and "reach out" to
DFW as a whole.
5 In what direction would you like to see OUT TAKES move?
OUT TAKES Dallas has already began to restructure itself. The board has a vision of
becoming the "hip and trendy" thing to do with your partner> friends and/or family.
Our community is so rich and diverse, and I want OUT TAKES Dallas to reflect that not
only by the films we show, but by the people who volunteer for the organization, by the
patrons who attend the films, and by our sponsorships and community ties,
Soundout is a weekly column featuring people whose jobs and interests have an impact on the daily lives of members
of the LGBT community. It features those who often go unnoticed by the press and community. If you'd like to recom-
