Greetings from Out Here is a 1993 road trip documentary film which captures the people, places and politics of gay America in the Deep South.
On her journey, filmmaker Ellen Spiro visits memorable landmarks, events, and characters, including Mardi Gras, Gay Pride in Atlanta, the Gay rodeo, Dollywood, Miss Miller's Eternal Love and Care Pet Cemetery, and the Short Mountain Radical Faerie sanctuary.
"A wise-cracking, determinedly anti-mythic video artist with a gift for finding community wherever she turns, Spiro defines the roadmovie on her own terms in an exhilarating new work.
Her curious, wry, observant, and admirably uninvasive way of shooting conveys a vital feeling of identification with her subjects."
– Linda Dubler, Video Curator, High Museum of Art, Atlanta "Lacing the work with irony, humor, and defiance, and a touch of pain and bitterness, [Spiro] ties together isolated people through their common identity and a strong sense of place that ranks this among the finest road documentaries and ethnographic films."
