**James Broughton** (November 10, 1913 - May 17, 1999) was a pioneer of experimental filmmaking, a central player in California's creative literary scene, a bard of sensuality and spirituality, an invigorated gay elder, and a preacher of Big Joy. His life's work was an attempt to discover the contradictory nature of his humanity and its roots; the result was a poetic and artistic life that inspired many. Broughton's advice to filmmakers: **Follow your own weird**. Broughton was part of the San Francisco Renaissance. He was an early bard of the Radical Faeries as well as a charter member of [The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence][1]e serving her community as Sister Sermonetta. His life story is told in the forthcoming feature-length documentary, "[Big Joy: The Adventures of James Broughton][2]," set to be released in 2013-2014.
