‘Mysterious’ Gay-Themed Short Film So It Goes Needs Your Help

There are some great gay-themed short films out there, but getting the funding to make them isn’t always easy. That’s probably why So It Goes has turned to Indiegogo, where it’s hoping to raise at least $8,000.

It’s described as ‘a mysterious short film with a faded aesthetic influenced by the novels of Kurt Vonnegut and Cormac McCarthy.’ Here’s the synopsis: ‘Something isn’t right at the Dallin farm where sickly 16-year-old Oren has been in foster care for 4 years.  Book smart but a social pariah, Oren is mourning his boyfriend, Tomaj, who died from kidney failure 6 months ago. Oren keeps to himself when Benji, a kind-hearted boy arrives to fill Tomaj’s empty bunk. When Oren sees what foster mother Ma Dallin has been up to, he must decide whether or not to tell the other boys. Benji’s sweetness gradually wins Oren over and he falls for the new kid and shares the deadly secret about Ma’s hi-protein flour. Frustrated that Oren would keep this a secret from the other boys, Benji abandons him, and Oren must decide what to do next.’

Director Andy Bosnak comments, “This screenplay says what I’ve always wanted to say, there is darkness in the world, but we can fight it if we join together. I’ve assembled a crew of experienced, talented artists who care about communicating worthwhile messages in film. We’re shooting in October. The movie will be finished in March 2017.”
