Comcast Xfinity LGBT Film & TV Collection to Showcase Area Filmmaker's Documentary

From Luna+Eisenla: An internationally acclaimed filmmaker from Silver Spring, Joan Biren, has had her award-winning 2003 documentary about Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon selected to be showcased on a national cable platform: Comcast Xfinity LGBT Film & TV Collection. Joan’s film, No Secret Anymore: The Times of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, which she directed, is a documentary that chronicles the love of a LGBT pioneering couple over half a century, tracing their experience from fear to equality during that time. In fact, the Equality Forum has previously celebrated Joan, naming her an LGBT icon. Frameline Distribution, a distributor of LGBTQ film, distributed the film.
