Nothing big today, either, just MORE mentions
Remember that "Outfest LGBT Film Festival Collection" I found a few days ago? Well I've been ignoring it because I didn't know what "Outfest" was. I thought it was another film festival, but I couldn't find literally anything about it, so I just kinda left it there. Today, though, I found the location of this specific film festival (Los Angeles), and now I could get a little bit more of info about it
It has its own YouTube channel, and it seems like it's a pretty big event, since I could find quite a bit of big names as guests, like Nick Jonas, Jeff Goldblum, and even Tom Hanks. With that said, there's no mention of 45 RPM Love nor Dennis Conroy on any of the video titles. What I do know, is that 45 RPM Love was shown on at least OUTFEST 2012 and 2015, so it seems like it's a moderately popular music video, which makes me wonder why is it lost on the first place
Finally, no response from Michelle Lawler yet. I'll wait one or two more days before I send an email

And now it's time for the first summary, although there's not much info, better keep it all in order
45 RPM Love: Also known as "Forty Five [45] RPM Love", it's a 6 minutes long music video, directed by Dennis Conroy and released in 1994. It was shot in the US, and, according to a brief review, it's "a saucy look at the illusions of gender and love in film and pop music". It's been shown on several LGBT film festivals for several years now, including the San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, the Chicago Lesbian & Gay International Film Festival, the Austin Gay & Lesbian International Film Festival (also known as "aGLIFF") and OUTFEST. It is listed on the San Francisco Public Library website, although it is unknown if they have a copy of it
Dennis Conroy: Director of 45 RPM Love. I have reasons to believe that he studied filmmaking, cinematography and film/video production at the New York University in 1989 and communication studies and film/cinema/video studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst from 1981 to 1985, although I still can't confirm this information yet. He has also worked as critic/reviewer, collaborator and as a member of screening commitees for several film festivals. Besides 45 RPM Love, he also co-directed Lush Life along with David E. Johnston
Michelle Lawler: A movie director who seems to have worked with Dennis Conroy in some way in the past. Still waiting for response
David E.Johnston: Co-director of Lush Life. Still waiting for response
Unfortunately that's all. I wish there was more info, but this is a one-man research, so it might take a while. I'll wait one or two more days for Michelle to respond my tweet before taking the email route. Also, since senshisun seems to have dissapeared, I'm gonna go ahead and send an email to David E.Johnston myself, so wish me luck
Sorry for abandoning this thread! I take it nobody responded.
You have a lot of good information! I've just read all of it. Maybe we should try contacting Michelle again. She might have lost out e-mail since she's apparently busy filming a TV show now.
