Mar. 27--Dallas filmmaker Israel Luna has stirred up a whole lot of controversy with his latest film, Ticked Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives.

The film was given a spot in the prestigious Tribeca Film Festival, a big leap forward for the director, whose previous efforts have premiered at area gay-themed film festivals.

But yesterday GLADD (the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) issued a call to action demanding that Tribeca pull the film from its schedule.
