What’s The Matter With Gerald Trailer – Jacob York & Matt Riddlehoover reteam for a new gay-themed film

By Leave a Comment

whats-the-matter-with-gerald-slideJacob York was definitely one of the most memorable things about last year’s Paternity Leave, playing a gay man whose life gets flipped upside down when he discovers he’s one of a bunch of men who’ve inexplicably become pregnant. Now York has reteamed with his Paternity Leave director, Matt Riddlehoover, for What’s The Matter With Gerald.

Here’s the brief synopsis: ‘The film centers around a man (York) with a multitude of problems who seeks help from an eccentric healer (Kathy Cash) – much to the chagrin of his practical partner (Jonathan Everett).’

The movie is currently playing at film festivals. It should arrive on DVD & VoD in the US later this year. You can find out more at the movie’s website. [Read more…]

Paternity Leave Trailer – How would a gay male couple deal with one of them getting pregnant?

By Leave a Comment

paternity-leave-slide2We enjoyed Paternity Leave when we reviewed it a couple of weeks ago, but at that time there wasn’t a trailer we could show you for Matt Riddlehoover’s latest movie.

That’s changed though as the first proper promo has arrived, which you can watch below.

The film, ‘is a romantic comedy about Greg (Jacob York), Ken (Charlie David), and a moment of passion on the eve of their four year anniversary that changes the course of their lives forever.

‘Greg begins feeling nauseated, fatigued, moody and – most unfortunately – fat. At his wit’s end and Ken’s insistence, he sees a doctor who’s stumped and refers the couple to a specialist. To everyone’s amazement, Greg is pregnant. Shock, stress, and fear settle in, and Greg’s relationship gets put to the ultimate test.

‘Co-starring Chris Salvatore (Eating Out: All You Can Eat, Drama Camp, The Open Weekend), Paternity Leave poses a modern answer to the age old question: “Are we ready to be parents?”‘

Paternity Leave is now playing festivals, and is available for pre-order at PaternityLeaveFilm.com. [Read more…]

Paternity Leave (Review)

Director Matt Riddlehoover has been described as gay cinema’s answer to Woody Allen. It’s difficult to know whether he’s consciously thinking about that when he makes his movies, but there are definitely a lot of echoes of Woody in his work.

With Paternity Leave those echoes are particularly of some of Allen’s earlier work, where he took an absurdist situation but then didn’t treat it in an overtly over the top, silly way. The movie follows boyfriends Greg (Jacob York) and Ken (Charlie David), who’ve been together for four years, but whose lives are flipped upside-down when Greg discovers that he’s pregnant.

First Look At Chris Salvatore & Charlie David In Matt Riddlehoover’s Gay-Themed Comedy Paternity Leave

By Leave a Comment

Chris-Salvatore-Charlie-David-Paternity-LeaveWhile we won’t get to see the new comedy Paternity Leave until 2015, our first look at the movie has slipped out with a making of… featurette, which gives us our first view of the gorgeous likes of Charlie David, Chris Salvatore, and Jacob York in the film, as well as director Matt Riddlehoover (Scenes From A Gay Marriage) hard at work on the set. Take a look at it below.

In the film Greg (Jacob York) finds out that he’s pregnant with his partner Ken’s (Charlie David) baby. Dumbstruck by the news, their relationship takes twists and turns through hardship and hilarity, while we’re left wondering if they’re going to make it through the most unexpected and difficult period of their lives together. Chris Salvatore also stars.

However to get it all finished it needs your help, as the movie has launched an IndieGoGo campaign with the hope of raising $5,000 in post-production funding, which will help with things such as 2nd unit photography, editing, sound mix, music licensing, and color correction. So if you want to make sure Chris, Charlie and Jacob look and sound all they they should be, you’ll have to head over the IndieGoGo.

And if you need to know why they should always look their best, take a look at the pics of Chris Salvatore and Charlie David in the links. [Read more…]
