Unqualified Observers (or @ObserverCast on Twitter) is a magnificent movie podcast hosted by the always engaging Thomas Stimpson and Kelham Metcalf.  They are currently media selectors for the Summer 2022 film festival and one of our regular collaborators.  You’ll be seeing them around a lot in these parts.

Dillon Roman is a content creator who doesn’t believe in censorship. Beginning his career as a dancer, he transitioned into adult performance after realizing that Hollywood was not for him. Responding to the box several producers tried to put him in, Dillon hopes to continue making what he wants to make, unafraid of the public’s perception of him. Never one to make his queer self “safer” for the uninitiated, his tenacity, fierce expression of truth, and refusal to diminish his light is why Q2Q will continue to support his ventures in the future.
