GLAAD partners with OUTFEST LA for 'I Am Jazz' screening

The 2015 Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival kicks off July 9 and tickets are on sale now through Outfest's website, by phone, or in person at the Box Office at the Directors Guild of America.

GLAAD is proud to be a community collaborator again this year and has partnered for the preview screening of TLC's upcoming docuseries, I Am Jazz, which follows the life of transgender teen advocate, Jazz Jennings. From an early age, Jazz wanted to be seen as the girl she knew she was, and I Am Jazz follows her and her family as Jazz enters adolescence and begins navigating teenage life as she prepares for high school.

After the screening, Jazz and other trans youth will participate in a panel discussion about being transgender teens.

OUTFEST's screening of I Am Jazz will be held at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles on Sunday, July 12, at 11:30 a.m. You can receive a $2 discount on your ticket purchase for this screening by calling the Box Office at (213) 480-7065, or by purchasing tickets in person, and mentioning that you are a supporter of GLAAD. I Am Jazz screening tickets are also available online (discount does not apply).

I Am Jazz premieres on TLC on Wednesday, July 15 at 10 p.m. ET.
