“Entertaining and touching. A film that will save lives,” is how Milk and J.Edgar screenwriter Dustin Lance Black described documentary Lead With Love.
Lead With Love is an information tool for any parent who’s child has just come out, offering guidance and support, as well as being an entertaining and heartwarming film for anyone else.
Writer/director/producer JC Calciano cut his teeth in the movie industry as production head for Tom Cruise’s company, helping to produce Hollywood blockbusters such as Mission: Impossible.
Last year he made his first feature length movie as writer/director, the sweet, funny, hit gay rom-com Is It Just Me? And now he follows up the sexy cowboy action with another perfect date movie, eCupid.
eCupid is about a bored, 29-year-old ad-man in a loving but stale relationship who feels he’s missing out in life. He breaks up with his boyfriend and downloads a dating app which promises to sort out his love/sex-life but delivers a lot more than sexy Marshall had bargained for, with hilarious results.
I had the opportunity to ask Calciano about both gay movie projects and whether technology like Grind is killing romance.
Fans of Auto-Tune and La Roux’s In For The Kill promo will want to check out this music video from the soundtrack to upcoming gay movie Going Down In La La Land.
This perfectly adequate dance-pop number by SIRPAUL (not McCartney) does a good job in selling Casper Andreas’ sexy Hollywood satire and features plenty of teasing clips from the movie.
You had me at “screwball mash-up of road movies and romantic comedies with a decidedly queer twist…”
Lots of gay movies are now turning to crowd funding sites like Kickstarter.com for the sticky business of raising hard cash to cover production costs. Few have gone to as much trouble as Let’s Pretend We’re Bunny Rabbits to appeal to our hearts and wallets.
Writer/director Chris Diani – who has one genre spoofing gay movie, Creatures Form The Pink Lagoon, under his belt already – has made a pretty funny video about his new comedy project with the help of some furry friends.
This gay short by Sanjay Sooknanan was shot on a budget of just $500 but has an interesting, quirky visual style which suggests a talent to watch (even if the sound quality, as with most micro-budget movies, sometimes lets it down).
Film is about the fallout from a gay hook-up which doesn’t turn out how either guy expects it to.
Sooknanan is part of a San Francisco based creative collective called “The Pegasus Company.”
