But the Festival is much more than just great LGBT films. OUT TAKES Dallas is unique in that it is the largest Festival of its kind that is completely produced by a fully volunteer not-for-profit organization. Its goal is to improve the everyday lives of our all individuals within our communities. As part of that effort, we annually award a portion of the proceeds raised during the Festival to our worthy beneficiary, and to date, we have donated over $70,000 to the local organizations that have been our beneficiary.
