She has a son from her first marriage, Brian, and for years she unconsciously hoped he would replace her deceased companion. Brian always tried to please his mother and to be as much like her idealized memories of his father as he could. Something mysterious has happened, however, and Ella and Brian have not exchanged a word for years. But they still meet on one yearly occasion, the dinner party Ella gives to commemorate her birthday. This years dinner party is special because it is centered on a pivotal argument that will reveal the foundations of Brian and Ella's relationship.

Chicago filmmaker Jeffrey Maccubbin's newest work looks deeply into how two men strive to find peace with their innermost demons. Simon is a hustler caught in the underbelly of queer culture. Late one night Simon slips on the ice that throws him into the arms of Evan, the host of a cable show who suffers from Tourette's Syndrome. After a night of unbridled sex, Simon realizes that Evan's ticks have subsided. He believes that he is meant to save Evan from his afflictions, leading them to unabashedly dive into a sado-masochistic relationship. Simon basks in a world where sadness and depression have become his new turn on and where his emotional destruction is the only true way to give Evan his soul.

Bugcrush (2006)

Bugcrush (2006)

Director: Carter Smith 
Writers: Scott Treleaven (story), Carter Smith
Genre: Short movie
Country: USA 
Language: English
Duration: 36 min
Year: 2006


Stars: Josh Caras, Donald Cumming, Eleonore Hendricks












Radnja se odvija u malom gradiću koji izgleda kao da je napušten. Ben koji je tek doselio i nov je učenik u školi upoznaje Granta. Privlačnost ali i nelagoda koja diže seksualnu tenziju pretvara se u druženje sa zlokobnim krajem.
Bugcrush je kratki horor film koji uspjeva da nam napetost i nelagodu drži do zadnje minute filma. Sam kraj filma nije dorečen tako da gledaocima ostavlja mogućnost da sami protumače šta se stvarno dogodilo.

A small-town loner's fascination with the new kid in town leads him into something much more sinister than he could ever have imagined.
Bugcrush is a short story on film. It details such flowery ideals as infatuation, carnal lust, and sexual naiveté. The work flows on the screen like a poem, skipping along at a deliberate, desperate pace and keeping the audience's ears tuned in to each subtle nuance and inflection it carries in its message. Bugcrush is also a trip to hell. It wanders down the road less traveled, taking you back to the moments in your life where you could had done something different and taken that chance, and then shows you how it could have gone terribly awry. But what just levels anyone who watches the film is the ripe tension, the imposing feeling of unease that permeates so much of the screen.

Year: 2006 Duration: 96 min
Stars: Paul Bright, Tim Jones, Peggy Mae Binn


IMDB:
Good First Draft
3/10
Author: jt-164 from United States
6 February 2007

First off, it seems that Tim Jones, the executive producer and a actor in this film, passed away in August of 2006. May he rest in peace, and thank you for having made the film. Critiques are fine, but I also want to point out that, regardless of constructive criticism, that these people made the film at ALL puts them a far sight ahead of most people. Congrats and cudos to the entire cast & crew!
That said...
This has some good potentials, but suffered from pace issues in several places. Pregnant pauses that should have been picked out by a decent editor made the film drag. The audience would certainly have preferred a shorter film that moved at more brisk a pace. Some of the dialogue is trite, some of it awkward, and too often the blocking looks as though it was made for stage. The best scenes are between the two leads when they forget to act and just have conversation, while they're getting to know each other.
The filmmaker intended to have fun with it, and it does demonstrate a somewhat surreal whimsical feeling, but we could have had more constant reminders, whether via some mechanism, lense coloring, or something to remind us not to expect reality. Then the departures might not have been so taxing.
Did I enjoy the DVD? Yes, despite the flaws (and myself) I did. But I wouldn't wittingly have parted with $27 for a copy, except to support the work.
It's a good first draft. I'd have re-edited, re-shot some scenes... but that would mean remaking the film altogether in this case. The expenses were obviously minimal by Hollywood standards. With some fine-tuning and rewrites, maybe some more outside help, this could have been a much better movie.
I applaud the effort. It's good to see gay independent filmmakers not falling back on cheap sex sells. Now to lose the clichés.
To The Writer/Director: Paul, there ARE some homo men who don't have gay mannerisms. They may even be a substantial portion of the population. They're just inherently unseen. It might have been nice to show this as well, and set another example of tolerance in the process, as you did by this remarkable town you've created. Get ahold of me before you start your next production. I'd be glad to pitch in!

Stars: Jared Edwards, Bill Jacobson and Robert Laughlin





IsOneofyouEddieSjedeći u bašti četiri pedera uživaju u razgovoru dok ne naiđe maser Edie koji ih na kratko zasmeta. Naime komšija Eddie nije tipičan gay, ni izgledom ni ponašanjem pa ih zbog toga iritira. Vidjeviši o čemu se radi Edie ih napusti i ode u stan da sačeka mušteriju.
Nedugo zatim nailazi muškarac iz pederskih snova i pita gdje je Eddie jer ima zakazanu masažu.
Queer radoznalost naraste do iznenađujućih granica.

Is-One-Of-You-Eddie-starring-Jared-Edwards-11Ovaj kratki film me je slatko nasmijao i podsjetio na događaj ovog ljeta na plaži. Kao i svake nedelje otišao sam na nudističku plažu. Nakon što sam pronašao meni zanimljivo mjesto naiđe par pedera i smjeste se na nekih 20-tak metara od mene. Gledaju svoja posla i poprilično me ignorišu. Ne mogu reći da mi nije prijalo što su me nisu davili, ali mi je bilo prilično neprijatno kada bi me pogledali kao da sam gubav.
Tokom dana naiđe jedan moj prijatelj i sjedne pored mene da popričamo. Vidim da ga ova dva pedera gutaju očima i smijući se kažem mu kako nas gledaju, a do maloprije samo što nisu povratili ako bi pogledali u mom pravcu. Nasmijao se i rekao to su ti pederska posla. Vidi kako će promjeniti mišljenje nakon što odem. Prije nego je pošao poljubio me ono masno i strasno kao da ćemo se trenutno tu pojebati.
Ova dvojica  su me nakon toga stalno nešto zapitkivala, tražili novine, upaljač, i slično.  Bolje mi je bilo dok su me ignorisali.
Stereotypes are challenged as four attractive gay men unfairly judge their neighbor, Eddie, who doesn't fit the "West Hollywood" mold.

Genre: Short movie
Country: USA 
Year: 2006

Stars: Rory Kozoll, Charlene Amoia and Vartan Latyre






tFilm me je podsjetio na mog prijatelja "Tonija", cimera sa fakulteta. Rođeni smo skoro na isti dan, voljeli istu muziku, sport, more...bili smo vrlo bliski. Jednom dok smo zajedno slavili rođendan i dobro smo popili Toni je podigao čašu i pred cjelim društvom nazdravio: Želim da svi znate da je "Orvel" za mene više nego rođeni brat, to je čovjek sa kojim djelim i moje najskrivanije tajne i strahove i želje i nadanja.
Pijmo u to ime i sretan ti rodjendan brate!
Potresle su me jako te riječi i nisam znao šta da kažem. Jedva sam se suzdržao da ne zaplačem, bilo me sramota pred svim tim prijateljima. Naravno svi srejt.
Kada smo se vratili u sobu na spavanje "Toni" je uskočio u moj krevet zagrlio me i šapnuo: ‘Vidio sam sve i sve znam. Volim te jako i tako će ostati, ali molim te nikad nemoj pomisliti...’
Naravno da nisam nikad pomislio, ali trebalo je tako malo!
Malo sam izmjenio ovaj događaj jer je previše prepoznatljiv, ali suština je ista!
Neka prijateljstva ostaju to zauvjek!


Three college students - Ethan, Meg and Josh - share an intense friendship that turns emotionally cataclysmic when unspoken attractions come to light. The inescapable truths of the heart will either strengthen or destroy their seemingly fragile bond, but only if they can overcome the fears of trusting each other -- and themselves.

Hitchcocked (2006)

Hitchcocked-2006Hitchcocked (2006)


Director: David M. Young 
Writer: David M. Young 
Genre: Short movie 
Country: USA 
Year: 2006


Stars: Yuval David and David Grant Beck





Al and Fred hook up for a little casual fun that soon turns ugly, revealing some fateful truths about Internet-dating, love and death.

IMDB | by Gordon-11 (Hong Kong)
This short film is about two men hooking up online for some fun. Only it turns out to be a dangerous rendezvous.
"Hitchcocked" is a low budget thriller short. In this short, we are already led to believe that something is wrong soon after the beginning. The heart warming romance quickly spirals down the drain, replaced with fear and suspense.
It is clearly better than what appears to be soft porn because of the thrill and suspense. The rather anti-climatic ending kills the whole suspense and thrill, even though it is happy and sweet. Overall, I think "Hitchcocked" is fun and entertaining to watch. This has potential to be expanded to become a longer film.

Jorgen sa svojom ženom svako ljeto poziva susjede da sa svojim sinom Tomasom uzivaju u ljetnoj noći uz večeru.
Prvo ljeto Tomas i Jorgen stvaraju specifično prijateljstvo zasnovano na iskrenosti.
Drugo ljeto prilično pijani Jorgen i Tomas imaju seks.
Treće ljeto Tomas se suočava sa činjenicom da Jorgen ima svoj život i da san ljetne noći uvjek doživi jutro otrežnjenja.
Simpatična priča koja me je podsjetila na događaj prije dosta godina kada sam sa roditeljima išao na jednu svadbu u jednom hotelu blizu mora. Igrao sam i veselio se cjelu noć uz dosta pića da bih pred jutro izašao napolje da prošetam jer me je stigao umor. Naslonjen na jedan zid gledao sam u more onako bez veze, trudeći se da ne zaspem. Jedan stariji rođak mi je prišao i počeli smo neobavezujuću priču o svadbi i mladencima. Predložio mi je da odspavam malo u jednu od soba koju su bili zakupili uz salu u kojoj je bila svadba. Kada smo došli u sobu samo sam se bacio na krevet, a on mi je rekao da se skinem i počeo me svlačiti. Najnormalnije smo imali seks kao da smo to svakog dana radili. Ujutro kada sam se probudio njega nije bilo. Otišao je natrag u mjesto odakle je !



Each summer, Jorgen and his wife who live abroad go back to Denmark, their homeland. In each occasion, they meet long-time family friends Birgitte, Peter and their son Thomas, who has a cottage just nearby. Jorgen and Thomas have something in common, both walk around the beach before going to bed whilst the others are already fast asleep. When Jorgen confronts Thomas why he is feeling so sad, Thomas reveals a secret in exchange for Jorgen's one. Then they become closer together keeping each others' best kept secrets. But through the course of the next two summers their relationship develops in a way they would never have expected...
Tre_somre-817329210-largeAlthough this is just a 30 minute short film, it definitely deserved a separate entry in my blog. 'Cute' was the first word when I was 5 minutes in the film and it ended the same way. In between it had its bittersweet moments but in my opinion a very well handled overall theme. The interactions and relationships between two individuals who are very different from each other in every which way be it age, likes, sexual orientation and how it ends.
The film is kind of 3 acts and shows the three summers over a span of 3 years. Jorgen lives abroad, but every summer he comes back to Denmark with his wife. He invites, as usual, his neighbours and their teenager son,Thomas, for dinner at his place. Only, this time there is a strange tension in the air between the adults. After dinner, Jorgen and Thomas go to the beach for a walk. They discover that both have secret problems, and the fact they cannot talk about them is creating great stress. They decide to share a secret each. Thomas tells he is gay and Jorgen says that he wants to divorce his wife. With this a new friendship begins. Its the second summer now and Jorgen, now divorced invites his neighbors again. Thomas stays back to hang out with Jorgen. They are generally chit-chatting and the night ends up in them having sex. Finally , the third summer comes. Jorgen has met a new girl and is very happy with her and is having a party with his friends. Thomas shows unannounced. Jorgen freaks out but all Thomas wants is a final kiss for the sake of keeping each other's secret. Initially hesitant, Jorgen finally complies and Thomas leaves him very peacefully and quietly.

ts-fi
How over the course of three summers, a friendship starts and how the relationship develops is shown in such a beautiful manner. The first time they both share a secret was such a nice, simple scene. It could have been from anyone's life when people much more comfortable sharing secrets with strangers. The intimate scene in the second summer was also handled with sensitivity but it was the finale which was superb. Some people might judge the fact that a middle age man is getting sexual with a teenage boy but you need to see the whole chemistry with an open mind. How Jorgen is scared, how Thomas is heart-broken but then finally they are both at peace by just a simple kiss. They both know they need to move on and they do.

Just as their relationship intensifies, however, Charlie’s long-absent father, Doug (Barry Shay), returns to town with his own plans to take care of Ben.

Caught in a struggle for Ben and eager to hold on to Jordan, Charlie must finally search his soul and make momentous decisions regarding the future of his family.

Genre: Comedy
Country: France

Duration: 93 min


Stars: Charlotte de Turckheim, Bernard Le Coq and Arnaud Binard

 

 

normal_thbb000139Porodična gay coming out priča ,  na vrlo specifičan način nam odslikava coming out dramu. U ovom filmu glavne uloge ne pripadaju gay paru Jeremyju i Marcu, več Jeremijevim roditeljima. Njihova preispitivanja gdje su pogriješili te je njihov sin postao gay , emotivne krize u koje upadaju i koje neskriveno dijele sa prijateljima koji ima svesrdno pomažu da nastave normalnim životom. Ipak ovakva kriza se ne riješava preko noči , a skoro je nemoguće riješiti ukoliko im je sin udaljen i ne shvati da je on taj koji im najviše može pomoći.

Mada je pomalo iracionalna za balkanski mentalitet ova priča ipak na neki način može pomoći mladim gay ljudima koji žele da svoju seksualnu orjentaciju saopšte roditeljima. Sebe su shvatili, a da li mogu roditelje?

 

TIMES HAVE BEEN BETTER
Directed by Régis Musset


5In TIMES HAVE BEEN BETTER, Jeremy (Arnaud Binard of GRANDE ECOLE) excels at everything. He’s only 33 but has just been promoted to an executive position at the bank. In his parents’ eyes, he’s the golden child, much to the chagrin of his younger brother, Robin (Olivier Guéritée), who has been the only one in the staid family privy to Jeremy’s sexual predilections. But when Jeremy unexpectedly stops by for Sunday brunch one day and announces that he’s just moved in with, well, his boyfriend, things begin to percolate: Jeremy’s parents always fancied themselves as progressive and liberal. After this little piece of news: not so much.

Where We Began (2006)

Where We Began (2006)

began-01Ima situacija kada se ne smijete prepustiti emocijama, ma koliko to bilo tesko! Film me je asocirao na jednog momka koji mi se predstavljao kao prijatelj, al u stvari je čovijek bez karaktera. Kada je izgubio posao pomagao sam i novcem i na svaki drugi način. Stvarno mi je bio drag. Jednom prilikom smo izasli u grad i malo po malo napili se! Kada smo se vratili doma zezali smo se uz icuii ( video chat ) , pa dok smo slali video poruke skidali smo se i nadrkavali. Dopisivali smo se sa nekim gay parom iz amerike. I na kraju smo se ne znam ni ja zašto pojebali gledajući ih kako to oni rade. Napali smo se baš kretenski. Inače se nebi nikada upustili u seks!
A napravio sam veliku grešku. Ne zbog seksa, nego zato jer mi je poslije govorio kako me voli, kao ne može bez mene i slično. Jasno sam mu stavio do znanja da mi možemo biti prijatelji kao što i jesmo , ali ništa više od toga! Pravio mi je zvrčke kad god je stigao, proganjao me i na kraju sam prekinuo svaki kontakt sa njim! A baš mi je bio drag kao prijatelj! Jedno jebanje i ode sve do đavola!

Ovaj kratki film me je oduševio iako to nisam očekivao da od režisera Marc Saltarellija koji još ni jednom nije napravio dobar film. Pogledajte
Dead Boyz Don't Scream (2006) i videćete koliko je bezličan, za razliku od ovog fenomenalnog kratkog filma!

Year: 2006
Genre: Short movie
Director: Marc Saltarelli
Duration: 14 min
Country: USA
Actors: Marshall McClean, Christian Mousel, Matt Pittenger



Very quiet but interesting short. It's about two gay men (Tim played by Marshall McClean and Christian played by Matt Pittenger) who were once lovers. Christian slowly became hooked on crystal meth. Tim couldn't handle it and Christian left...but Christian keeps hounding Tim for money and Tim doesn't know how to handle it.

began-04Quiet short but well-acted by the two men and well directed. It turns out the two actors are friends in real life and that helps the emotions between the two. It's part of a bigger screenplay which I never read. If this is an indication of the rest of the play I'd love to see it done for the big screen. Quiet and moving.

Marc Saltarelli is a writer, director and film editor living in Los Angeles. Along with writer Tom O’Leary, his short film WHERE WE BEGAN won a 2007 PlanetOut Short Movie Award and ranked #1 on season 3 of logo’s “The Click List: Best in Short Film.” His new short film “Nourishment” will premiere next season on Logo. “Wingtips”, a noir style surreal thriller was a finalist in the 2007 PlanetOut Short Movie awards. The short was created with writer/actor Alex Boling and has played in festivals worldwide. In 2006, Marc directed the horror comedy feature “Dead Boyz Don’t Scream”, currently on the TLA bestseller list.

began-03Marc co-produced, wrote, shot and edited the documentary feature FATHER G AND THE HOMEBOYS (Narrated by Martin Sheen), which profiles the lives of former East Los Angeles Latino gang members. IN THE SHADOW, his screenplay inspired by the documentary, won best latino themed short screenplay in the 2007 Latino Screenplay Competition and will begin production in 2008.

Marc has worked in post production on syndicated television programs and began his career working in the art department for Cannon Films. He has a film degree from Loyola Marymount University with additional training from USC School of Cinema.

Description:

Ovaj prilicno stupidno napravljen film jedva da bi ubacio na englesku verziju bloga da nije i pored lošeg scenarija i par redateljskih reklo bi se amaterskih grešaka na neki način ipak poučan za današnju Cut and Out omladinu koja se posvetila životnoj šetnji iz jednog u drugi krevet. Na stranu ću za sada staviti potrebu mladih gay-ovaca za seksualnim pražnjenjem. Predpstaviću i da svi danas koriste kondome bez razmišljanja o tome da li to treba ili ne. Ono što mene lično čudi je to da kada na kraju zatvore krug i teško mogu da pronađu nečiji krevet u koji nisu uskočili i dalje grozničavo traže nekog novog "tipa"

Maldost ludost, reklo bi se! Komično je to što svi na kraju traže nekog "normalnog" momka sa kojim bi podjelili nešto više od dupeta ili one stvari, a u priči se neskriveno podrugivaju onima koji se ponašaju jednako kao i oni! Pederska posla , zar ne!
Jednom sam sa jednim drugom otišao na neku novosadsku gay žurku! U ta doba ni ja nisam bio u fazonu druženja sa gay ljudima, a taj moj drug pogotovo. Jedva da je imao poneko seksualno iskustvo sa muškarcem. Na tu žurku nas je doveo jedan feminizirani gay lik. Naravno kad smo se tamo pojavili svi su bacili oko na nas kao na " novo, neisprobano svježe meso" Uz gomilu pića koje smo ispili u kratkkom roku kako bi razbili tremu brzo smo se opustili i dopuštali sebi stvari koje nikad prije nismo! Ljubili se sa nekim likovima po ćoškovima kafića, prepipkavali gayovce gdje smo god stigli i smijali se ko budale.
Kada je žurka skoro završila krenemo da izađemo , a onaj gay koji nas je i doveo na tu žurku ovom mom drugu dobaci: "Droljo jedna"!  Izašli smo napolje vrišteći od smjeha!
Definitivno smo znali da to ipak nije svijet kojemu pripadamo. Ja sam i dalje nastavio da se upuštam u veze sa macho oženjenim likovima, a moj drug je sebe pronašao po novosadskim parkovima u koje bi se neprimjetno uvukao, uradio što je namjerio i odatle pobjegao glavom bez obzira u krevet kod svoje žene!

Nego udaljih se od filma. Dva azijata koja žive u Londonu i koja se trude da budu IN ili kako bi jedan od njih rekao šik, već su se umorila od londonskih klubova i sexa na neviđeno. Međutim način života kojim žive ne dopušta ima da u šumi vide drveće. Jedan traži ljubav, a ignoriše momka koji je tu odmah do njega i izjavljuje mu ljubav, samo zato jer je "seljak", a drugi luta tražeći svoj identitet među transeksualcima.

Iako je početak filma trapavo napravljen, kasnije može postati interesantan.

Cut Sleeve Boys


Cut Sleeve BoysCut Sleeve Boys, directed by Ray Yeung, begins with a title explaining the origin of the term “cut sleeve boys” from the time when a bisexual emperor wanted to get out of bed without disturbing his cuddling male concubine, so he cut the sleeve of the latter’s garment in order to rise from bed, leaving his boyfriend still asleep. The term, in other words, is equivalent to “gay.” The first scenes portray the death of a good-looking Chinese guy, Gavin Chan (played by Mark Hampton), presumably from ejaculating immediately after ingesting amyl nitrate, and the funeral, where the two principal characters are introduced. Ashley Wang (played by Chowee Leow) and Mel Shu (played by Steven Lim) are good-looking twentysomething Chinese residents of London afflicted with “bitchy queen” attitudes because they have not found love, having moved to England from Asia to advance their careers as well as to find fulfillment in the arms of British gays. Ashley regularly swishes and, at home, wears feminine clothes. Mel has built a wall around himself so that he can only have tricks, not love, and reverts to a catty demeanor while with Ashley. Both are obsessed with what they wear and what they look like; their personalities are hollow. One day, Todd Charrington (played by Gareth Rhys Davis) knocks on Mel’s door, having left home in Wales. Mel had promised to put him up if he ever left home, so Todd expects to be greeted accordingly. However, Mel is quite cold to him, though he relents and allows Todd to stay a few days. Meanwhile, Mel insists on the virtues of an open relationship, but fails to attract anyone at the gym, while Todd gets attention, goes out with a muscular guy, and returns to lie that there was an orgy instead of one-to-one sex, believing that his lie will ease any pain for Mel. In a sex scene, Mel blindfolds Todd, who has never experienced kinky sex before; after Mel holds his arms behind his back, he orders him to beg to be fucked, and Todd complies.

However, Mel loses interest before proceeding when his telephone rings. Ashley is calling and requests help to crossdress. Todd gets up, disappointed. Mel even gets Todd a job and then tells him that the time has come to move out. Todd has a crush on Mel, but the latter’s brusque demeanor has deterred him from revealing his emotions until he is ordered out. and eventually leaves after declaring his love, which Mel rejects. Ashley, having decided to reinvent himself, goes to a bar for “trannies” and their admirers, meets a war vet, and has a wonderful time, but is reluctant to go forward with the relationship, fearing that he could not revert to his masculine identity most of the time. Mel, now having rebuffed an admirer, decides to reinvent himself as well, trying to botox wrinkles that are scarcely noticeable. Earlier, Mel has decried the fact that he is doomed to attract only “rice queens,” but he now he invites Todd, now corrupted by life amid the fashionable gay life of London, to a lunch. He evidently hopes to rekindle Todd’s love, since Ashley appears to be headed for a stable, happy relationship that will leave him friendless. The film ends with Ashley and Todd getting what filmviewers will expect that they deserve. Credits indicate the future states of affairs of the various characters one year hence, albeit superficially. The commentary on how the Londoners cope with gay life is doubtless intended to teach many lessons. One obvious observation is that all the characters are so interested in how they look and feel that they do not realize how empty headed they are; apart from their narcissistic hedonism, they have no purpose in life, no cause to advance, no connection with the world beyond themselves. The pastor who presides at the initial memorial service is the only one who appears to have a broader vision, but he abandons the ministry after receiving ?500,000 in the dead man’s will and instead partakes of gay life without wearing the cloth any more.
