Get it going. I can only do so much. More work is the last thing I need. Murphy suggests that it will take dedication from the gay community to keep the festival going. The future of the festival should be up to them, but 'community' is an anomaly, because gays and lesbians aren't a community.
Heterosexuals have their clubs, their school ties, their alliances and loyalties.
Gays need to do the same, to find a common purpose. Fighting talk, but at the same time, Murphy doesn't want a gay ghetto. Murphy said the company raises funds through cultural organisations like the British Council who, while they don't give hard cash, pay for some films. Murphy often also negotiates to get the films she wants, often asking the filmmaker to screened their films for free, something she is loath to do as moviemakers make their money from screenings. Then the festival grew and needed more money and in the third year Bells' Whiskey stepped in as sponsor.
