Abstract
Cubby, a “quirky queer coming-of-age comedy” co-directed by Ben Mankoff ’11, has been making the rounds of the international queer film festival circuit since its release earlier this year. The film was included in Italy’s 2019 Torino LGBTQI International Film Festival and has since been part of festivals in Barcelona, Toronto, San Francisco, Ireland, and Los Angeles. Cubby’s next stop is New York City, where the film will be a centerpiece at October’s NewFest. It will subsequently have a limited theatrical release on November 1, 2019, and be available to rent from iTunes and Amazon.
The experience of directing and promoting a feature film has been a new one for Mankoff, a theatre actor whose film background is largely self-taught.
