OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival Fall Edition – North American Premiere of “Last ExMas” Ladies’ Spotlight Film + Afterparty

Sponsored By

October 19 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival, internationally acclaimed as one of the largest LGBTQ+ cultural festivals in the world, is proud to present the North American premiere of “Last ExMas” (Canada, 2024), its Ladies’ Spotlight Film.

This romantic comedy-drama will screen on Saturday, October 19, at 7 p.m., at Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale (1820 E Sunrise Blvd.). An afterparty will follow the screening.

“Last ExMas” follows Maggie and Julianne, ex-girlfriends whose bitter breakup led them down different paths. Unexpectedly, they rekindle their spark during a holiday visit to their hometown. As they navigate their feelings, the gossiping town, and ghosts of exes past, they must determine if they are truly meant to be or if it’s just the magic of the season. Amid festive cheer and nostalgic memories, Maggie and Julianne face old wounds and new possibilities, questioning whether their love can survive beyond the holidays. Will they embrace a second chance or let the past dictate their future?

The film runs 90 minutes.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
