Cashing Out.
The New Yorker documentary short about the AIDS-era viatical business — the industry I spent my career marketing, and whose archive the film draws on. I ran the LGBTQ+ press push through the autumn and winter of 2025.
What the record supports
The campaign record names my outreach on Out, Attitude, Instinct and the Washington Blade; those four are tagged below. The rest of the set is published coverage of the film compiled in one place — the articles prove publication, not who secured each placement, and I am not claiming otherwise. Syndicated and repeat entries are labelled rather than counted as separate features.
The New York screening
I set up the New York screening, hosted by executive producer Matt Bomer, with a Q&A moderated by Carla Gutierrez and director Matt Nadel in attendance. Getty covered the evening.
