➡️How to watch this film
We come together on Zoom, but we watch the series on our own devices so you will need access to Lesflicks to rent the title. If you are on an Pad/iPhone you cannot use Zoom and watch video at the same time due to something in the set up of Apple Devices. So you will need to leave the zoom whilst we are watching the title. We will let you back in!!!
The Zoom is free, but you will need to rent the film; the rental fee is £5.99 and you get access to the film for 3 days.

Join Lesflicks as we sit down and have a conversation with Denise Marsa, talented singer, songwriter and playwright as we talk about her latest work, the live musical show, The Pass. Sit down with Naomi as she talks with this prominent woman who is entertaining us with her music and also bravely sharing her experiences in the music industry. Use this chance to ask your questions.
📰 Denise Marsa, Having gained a cult following in the UK as the mystery voice on Dean Friedman’s multi-platinum hit single, “Lucky Stars,” Denise chose to premiere ‘The Pass’ in 2018 at the Playground Theatre in London, England, to outstanding reviews. London’s A Younger Theatre, wrote: “Denise Marsa is one of a kind. She’s a force of nature, a life-affirming singer, an overwhelmingly positive presence. Fuelled by her passion, she walks on stage with total confidence. Completely at ease in the spotlight, she delivers The Pass, her own story put in music.” The performance recorded live and originally presented in collaboration with Revelation Gallery, NYC and Musae will be released on LesflicksVOD on Sunday 2 May 2021.

About the host
Naomi is taking her existing knowledge of the community and combining this with her experiences and passion around film. Naomi is the one with the grand ideas! Nothing is impossible… she is dedicated to film, women, and getting film to women! Naomi has spent the better part of her adult life trying make sure us queer women are getting the representation we rightfully deserve, both through Lesflicks and previously through Planet London/Planet Nation. Her extensive collection of lesbian interest films on DVD should tell you that, if her wonderful pride-themed rainbow eyeshadow doesn’t already.
