Outfest held its 14th annual film competition awards ceremony on Sunday at the John Anson Ford Amphitheatre in Los Angeles.
A total of 17 Outie Awards were given in front of a packed house of festivalgoers, celebrity guests, and Outfest filmmakers.
The presentation of awards was followed by the Los Angeles premiere of Tom Gustafson's Were the World Mine, which nabbed Outfest's coveted Outstanding U.S. Dramatic Feature/Heineken Red Star Award.
