Malcolm Ingram is a talented director and producer in the film industry. His journey began while working for Film Threat magazine, where he met the renowned filmmaker Kevin Smith. Smith took Ingram under his wing and financed his first feature film, "Drawing Flies," which starred Jason Lee and premiered in the summer of 1995.
The comedy gained success on the festival circuit and was later released on DVD. Ingram's subsequent feature, "Tail Lights Fade," boasted a star-studded cast, including Denise Richards, Jake Busey, Elizabeth Berkeley, and Margot Kidder. Released by Trimark/Lions Gate in 1999, the film was a delirious action-comedy-drama that showcased Ingram's versatility as a director.
Ingram's documentary "Small Town Gay Bar" premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, where it received a nomination for the Grand Jury Prize. The film went on to garner multiple awards, including the HBO Award for Best Documentary at the Miami LGBT Film Festival and the Grand Jury Award at Outfest in Los Angeles. It also received a GLAAD Media Award nomination for Best Documentary.
Ingram's next documentary, "Bear Nation," premiered at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival and played over 50 film festivals before winning the Best Documentary at the Atlanta International Film Festival. His most recent documentary, "Continental," tells the story of the iconic NYC gay landmark that launched the careers of Bette Midler, Barry Manilow, Patti LaBelle, and Frankie Knuckles while serving as a cultural and political hub.
"Continental" premiered to sold-out audiences at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival and has since won awards and screened at numerous festivals, including the Hot Docs International Documentary Festival, Outfest, Frameline, Palm Springs International Film Festival, Melbourne International Film Festival, and 2013 BAM Cinemafest. Ingram is currently working on his fourth documentary, "Out To Win," which explores the experiences of gay people in sports.
