Susi Graf's documentary "Lost in the Crowd" had its world premiere screening at this year's S.F. International LGBT Film Festival. A portrait of a group of homeless LGBT teens trying to survive on the streets of New York City, the film was shot over the course of seven years beginning in 2003 and ending in 2010.
