There
are people who fall in love with different kinds of stories—and then
there are those of us who feel something special when a film reflects
queer lives, love, and truth.
If
you’re someone who finds comfort, joy, or even a sense of home in
LGBTQ+ movies—the characters, the journeys, the relationships that feel
real—this is for you.
Amazon Prime Video offers a wide range of films and series, including powerful
LGBTQ+ stories that celebrate love in all its forms. While putting this
list together for someone close to me who truly cherishes these kinds
of films, I realized there are so many others who might connect with
them just as deeply.
So I’m sharing it with you, too.
Each
click brings you to another story—some tender, some bold, some
heartbreaking, some uplifting—but all worth experiencing. I hope you
discover something that stays with you.
Feel
free to share this with others who might appreciate it, and let us know
which films spoke to you, which ones were new discoveries, and which
ones became favorites.
Here’s a little piece of advice I try to live by: introduce
good people to good people. You never know what kind of magic comes from
those connections.
That’s
exactly why I’m starting a series of interviews with some truly
incredible men and women in music. First up is someone I’ve respected
for a long time— Christian DiCristino.
I
met him years ago through another New York DJ, Frankie Paradise. I was
already working with Frankie, but getting to meet DiCristino was a whole
experience in itself. We talked a bit, sure—but honestly, I mostly just
listened.
And that’s where it clicked.
Not
only is he a genuinely great guy, he has a style that’s completely his
own. When he DJs, you can feel the artistry in it. It’s not just mixing
tracks—it’s like he’s painting something in real time, building a
picture with sound. The kind of picture you don’t see… you hear.
DiCristino began his DJ career in the 1980s and has been producing
electronic dance music since the early 1990s. He is the founder of the record label Bklyn Sessions Trax.
With a long list of
original productions and remixes under his belt, he brings extensive
experience and confidence to the DJ Booth AND the studio.
1. What was the first track that made you fall in love with music and made you want to DeeJay?
I’ve had a lifelong passion for music, rooted in my early exposure through my father, who worked as a DJ and as a bouncer at renowned clubs such as Paradise Garage, The Fun House, Better Days, and The Loft.
If I had to pinpoint a specific song that sparked my interest and pushed me toward DJing, it would be Love Is The Message. Years later, that influence came full circle when my former partner Oscar P and I created a remix, which was released on his label, OpenBar Music, in 2012 called “The Message” under my prior artist name C. Scott.
2. When it comes to House music, How would you describe your sound to someone who’s never heard you before?
My sound is highly distinctive, defined by deep emotional expression that runs through all of my music, combined with a strong technical edge. Since beginning my production career in 1996, I’ve developed a discography that spans a wide range of genres.
3. What’s one moment in your DJ career that you’ll never forget?
One of my most unforgettable moments was performing at a rave in Holland alongside Omar Santana for a crowd of over 15,000 people. It was an incredible and energizing experience.
4. What’s a mistake you see new DJs make all the time?
I often notice DJs who barely use headphones or do not use them at all, even though they are a fundamental technical tool. Having started DJing in the early 80s with vinyl, headphones were essential and there was no alternative.
I am currently working on several new tracks that are scheduled for release on my record label in 2027.
5. What are you working on right now? How can I share your stuff to new people? What are your social media handles and ways people can hear or get your stuff live or online?
The most effective way for me to share my music is by directing listeners to my artist or label pages on platforms like Beatport, Traxsource, and Spotify, as well as my official website.
I maintain an active and professional presence across all social media platforms, where I regularly share updates through posts and stories.

6. What would you say to someone out there who feels called to music but hasn’t taken that first step yet?
For individuals interested in music production, I recommend first identifying the production software that best suits your workflow, along with the VST plugins, synthesizers, and drum machines that will help you master the fundamentals. Building a strong technical foundation is essential.
It is also important to conduct thorough online research and seek guidance from experienced professionals whenever possible. Their insight can significantly accelerate your growth.
Most importantly, immerse yourself in music that inspires you, evokes positive emotions, aligns with your artistic vision, and creates a sense of community. That connection will naturally shape your unique sound and guide your creative journey.
I’ve had the privilege of working with some truly outstanding DJs and promoters, and I’ll continue highlighting those I genuinely stand behind in this ongoing “Beyond the Booth” interview series.
