The award giveaway is expected to take place on August 22 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Damien S. Navarro, Outfest’s executive director reflected on honouring Page with the award in a statement: “When determining the recipient of our highest honour we look for those that have been a powerful representative for our community, that have soared to the highest levels of recognition for their talent and who have stepped into the shoes themselves as an independent filmmaker and creator.
