Making love

making love poster 165x300 Making loveA successful young L.A. doctor and his equally successful television-producer wife find their happily-ever-after life torn assunder when he suddenly confronts his long-repressed attraction for other men.

Zach and Claire live a comfortable life secure in their love for one another when Bart, a swinging L.A. novelist, walks into Zach’s office and awakens unfamiliar feelings in him.

In a move which leaves him wracked with guilt, Zach cancels dinner with his wife in order to go out with Bart. He is inexplicably drawn to this man who seems intent on keeping him at arms distance.

Why can’t Bart allow their relationship to grow? he wonders. Exasperated, he asks Bart, “Do you snore? Does anybody ever get a chance to find out?”

As Zach’s absences become more and more frequent, Claire’s concern manifests itself in the suspicion that he is having an affair with another woman. Jilted by Bart and feeling alone for the first time in his married life, Zach resolves to tell Claire the truth about himself.

Predictably, Claire is shocked that she could have known so little about the man she has loved for so many years and accuses him of deceiving her from the very start. Read the rest of this entry »

Send me an angel

send me an angel poster 300x225 Send me an angelSomeday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection. The lovers, the dreamers and me.”

Send Me An Angel is a snapshot of 24 hours in the life of Ronny, a hopeless romantic who spends his 30th birthday looking for love in all the wrong places.

Ronny is still carrying a torch for his ex-boyfriend, who extinguishes any remaining embers of hope when he shows up to say he is moving to America to be with his new lover.

When Ronny places an ad on a chat line looking for masculine “army-types”, a blond, twink hustler named Sahar answers his call. Sahar doesn’t quite match the profile Ronny was looking for and he kicks him out of his apartment without so much as cab fare home.

Fate intervenes and the two bump into each other later in the evening at an outdoor rave where a friend of Sahar tries to rough up Ronny over their earlier misadventure. The mismatched pair spend the evening wandering the streets together and Sahar once again ends up on Ronny’s doorstep.

What follows is an intimate insight into the hearts of two people, each with their own emotional scars, as they let down their guard, get to know each other and take a chance on love. Ultimately, Send Me An Angel is about letting go of past loves and of the preconceptions of who the next one may be. Read the rest of this entry »

The relationship makes him determined to tell his reserved English parents, an academician and a book editor, of his homosexuality.

Mambo Italiano

mambo italiano poster 195x300 Mambo ItalianoMaria and Gino (Ginette Reno and Paul Sorvino), emigrated from Italy to Montreal in the 50’s and married after their arrival in “the new world”, a world they still haven’t quite gotten used to.

Their world is shattered when their son, Angelo (Luke Kirby), decides to get a place of his own. “What is so wrong with living with your parents until you get married?” they ask.

They are relieved however, when Angelo’s childhood buddy, Nino (Peter Miller), decides to move in with their son. After all, Nino is an old family friend and he’s a respectable cop.

Their relief is short lived, as they find out that Nino and Angelo are much more than mere roommates-they’re (gasp) lovers! All hell breaks loose (Italian-style, of course!) Horror is followed by a general outcry, disbelief is followed by indignation, the battlefield is cleared, and “tutta la famiglia” goes to war!

Will Angelo and Nino be able to resist the gargantuan pressure coming at them from all sides and find the strength to survive as a couple? Will Nino be able to withstand the seductive charms of the voluptuous Pina? Will Angelo find the courage to fully come out of the closet and confront the whole of them while he accepts himself?

As he begins to receive strange letters telling accounts of castaways on deserted islands, Tim feels that he needs to write his story…

Home at the end of the world

home at the end of the world poster 211x300 Home at the end of the worldA HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD chronicles the lives of Bobby and Jonathan, two childhood friends who meet as students in a suburban Ohio school. From the moment they meet, Bobby and Jonathan are inseparable. For Jonathan, the unconventional Bobby is a connection to a larger world. For Bobby, Jonathan’s family – and in particular Jonathan’s mother Alice – represents a kind of stability that he hasn’t known.

As they grow up, the boys grow apart only to reunite in New York where, together with the free-spirited Clare, they invent a new kind of family.

Based on the book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author Michael Cunningham, who also wrote the screenplay, A HOME AT THE END OF THE WORLD looks at what we mean by love, commitment, and loyalty. Perhaps most importantly, it re-examines the idea of family, and in doing so shows us its very essence and the ways in which that essence can be redefined. Read the rest of this entry »

Under one roof

under one roof poster 202x300 Under one roofIt’s Sex and the City meets The Wedding Banquet for young San Franciscan Daniel Chang (Jay Wong), a young Chines yuppie living at home with his clueless, traditional mother and grandmother.

Desperate for a grandchild, his mother is eager to see him married and spends much of her time planning introductions to suitable Chinese girls for Daniel.

Of course, the fact that Daniel is gay is something that he has never discussed with his traditional Chinese mother, since he knows it is something that she (and his deceased father, whom the mother refers to constantly) could never approve.

But when she recruits a new lodger for the downstairs flat, Daniel finds himself falling for Robert (James Marks), the hot Southern boy who’s moved to the big city.

Well, Robert’s not a suitable Chinese girl – but is he gay? And does he feel the same way about Daniel? A flood in the first floor apartment forces Robert to live with Daniel upstairs in his bedroom while the plumbers fix the mess downstairs.

Love develops, while Daniel tries to maintain the facade of heterosexuality for his family. Of course mom catches Daniel and Robert together, and all hell breaks loose. Read the rest of this entry »

And then came summer

and then came summer poster 229x300 And then came summerA reunion of family and friends becomes an unforgettable vacation when two teenage boys discover their feelings for each other, only to be found out by their families.

The exposed relationship leads to the denial and questioning self worth from each of the boys and the families…especially finding out that one of the boys had been previously institutionalized for his homosexuality.

The other sideline story is the friendship between the two men (a father and friend), one a man who has lost his job and wife, finding himself without a purpose. He also must come to terms with the past; that he helped to put his younger brother in the institution and buried this secret.

Life was once simple…and then came summer. Read the rest of this entry »
