Described as a ‘colourful, hilarious and poignant feature film about love and redemption’, Shining Moon hopes to take us into Latino gay and drag culture, but to do that it needs your help as it’s launched an Indiegogo campaign with the hope of raising the $35,000 it needs to plug its funding gap and get it in the can.
There is also at least one rather unusual perk if you give enough money, and if you like ass and have $7,000 spare, the key actors will moon you in a personal video! It certainly makes a difference from just getting a copy of the film or having your name on a website.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘Renato and Ivan are two middle aged actors, living in a gay relationship that has become monotonous and unexciting over the years. Their precarious lives are stretched to the limit as they try to find ways to make quality theater in Chile, a country which cares less and less about art and culture.
‘Their daily routine suddenly changes when Anibal, a handsome young filmmaker who is not gay casts them in a film based on a famous drama about the lives of Lola and Ana, two poor, outcast, elderly drag queens who were once bright lights in the Latino LGBT firmament. The deeply human story of Lola and Ana will reveal their restrictions, dreams, fears and joy.
‘However, Renato and Ivan are also part of a society that segregates and discriminates and they must overcome their own prejudices to play such challenging characters – Lola and Ana, who likes to show up with their fantasy names Luna and Sol.
‘As Renato and Ivan confront their own demons and heal ancient sorrows they discover a new opportunity to defeat their fears, redeem themselves as talented actors and find new meaning to their own personal lives.’
