Alonso Duralde

I'm a lifelong movie nerd who managed to stay out of theaters and away from the DVD player long enough to write two books about film: Have Yourself a Movie Little Christmas, which will be published in October 2010 by Limelight Editions, and 101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men (Advocate Books, 2005).

In addition to my recurring appearances on IFC's "The Grid" and the film reviews and articles I write for various websites, I work with several film festivals, including Sundance and Outfest. My previous gigs include "The Rotten Tomatoes Show" on Current, Arts & Entertainment Editor at The Advocate, Artistic Director of the USA Film Festival/Dallas, and, back in high school, every possible gig at a suburban movie theater in College Park, Ga., from tearing tickets to running the projector. I'm lucky enough to be partnered with the very funny and wonderful Dave White, whose book EXILE IN GUYVILLE you should absolutely read.
