Festival Operations and Hospitality
And, of course, the festival would not have been possible without the work of a fine cadre of volunteers. Their efforts ran a wide and critical range - planning, advising, arranging and publicizing, schlepping and posting, ticket tearing and ushering, informing, schmoozing and hosting. Many, infinite thanks to... Susan Degnan, Fatima, Aiden Fyre, Patricia Johnson, Erin Kennedy, Alan Levy, Loren, Luz, Lola, Sur Madam, Melissa, Mark Michaels, Violet Olds, John Pepper, Robert, Mark S., Elizabeth Sheehan, Sissy Stephanie, Dizzy Swank and Topaz.
For pulling together a bang-up clip reel for our Club 90 presentation, Porno Jim.
For keeping our website ticking throughout the year, an endless, tequila-infused river of gratitude for Heow Goodman and Laura/ThreeDesignThree.
For documenting our various hijinks and making sure we appear in the best light possible...much love to Stacie Joy with her amazing still photography, and to the industrious Bill C. ramping up our video unit and helping us all look sharp on the red carpet!
Many thanks also to John Mhiripiri, Jed Rapfogel, Sarah Halpern, Bradley Eros and all of the staff at Anthology Film Archives!
Kick-Off Gala
In addition to our festival volunteers, thanks go to the wonderful crew at Taj, our party venue. And, of course, our fabulous kick-off performers - Miss Crimson Kitty, Foxy Squire and Violet Olds!

With my dad’s passing following so closely after the festival, it’s been a sad CineKink season for me. He would have been so proud, though, to see what CineKink has become.
In closing then - many, many thanks again to our filmmakers, our sponsors, our advertisers, our volunteers - and mostly especially, to you, our audience, for being a part of the CineKink community. We truly appreciate the enthusiasm you’ve given to CineKink.
Thank you!
