The OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival Spring Edition presents the dramatic thriller Lone Star Bull (US/UK, 2025), its Men’s Spotlight Film, at 7:30 p.m., on May 1, at Paradigm Cinemas: Gateway Fort Lauderdale. An afterparty will follow the screening.
Lone Star Bull stars Luke Macfarlane, the Hallmark movie heartthrob and irresistibly hunky queer icon, as Bull Jackson, a former military veteran turned bouncer at a popular gay nightclub. When Coco, the club’s beloved owner and mentor, is gravely injured in a suspected hate crime, Bull teams up with Jordan (played by D.J. “Shangela” Pierce), a sharp-tongued drag queen and med student, to track down those responsible. Using his combat skills and fierce loyalty, Bull plunges into a dangerous underworld of prejudice and retribution, fighting to protect his chosen family and confront the ghosts of his past.
The film runs 90 minutes.
