Leave It On The Floor (DVD)

September 6, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Ephraim Sykes, Phillip Evelyn, Andre Myers, Miss Barbie Q
Director: Sheldon Larry
Running Time: 105 mins
Certificate: 15
Release Date: September 10th 2012

I’ve always thought it was odd there weren’t more explicitly gay musicals, but that’s probably because they’re surprisingly tough to put together and shoot. As a result it’s difficult to get one to the screen on with type of budget that most gay-themed entertainment has to play with. But Leave It On The Floor isn’t just a rare gay musical, it also deals with queer people of colour (or QPOC as it’s sometimes termed), and a whole spectrum of gender and self-expression that’s often avoided or side-lined in gay movies.

Brad (Ephraim Sykes) is a young man who gets thrown out by his mother after she discovers he’s gay. He finds a new home in the world of ball culture, an underground scene in which different ‘houses’, largely made up of gay and transgendered black people, compete on a catwalk/dancefloor to see who is the most vibrant, stylish, fierce and fabulous. Brad is befriended by Princess (Phillip Evelyn), who takes him to a house run by Queef Latina (Miss Barbie-Q), who isn’t initially impressed by this interloper into her domain. However as Brad begins to find acceptance and perhaps a love interest in the tricky Carter (Andre Myers), tragedy is around the corner. [Read more…]

Crush Of The Day: The Guys Of Leave It On The Floor

August 3, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

The sparkling LGBT themed musical Leave It On The Floor began its exclusive run at London’s Leicester Square Theatre on Wednesday (August 1st, 2012) at will screen at Ireland’s GAZE LGBT film festival this weekend, with some more cinemas screenings up and down the UK before its DVD release on September 10th.

The film is full of hot guys showing off that not only do they look pretty, but they can sing, dance and act. We caught up with Leave It On The Floor director Larry Sheldon when the movie screened at the London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival earlier this year, and you can read more about that here. Or you can check out the trailer here. And just because we can, you can check out the film’s guys, including the incredibly lean yet muscular Philip Evelyn, below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Sheldon Larry’s audacious, raunchy and big-hearted musical – with songs by Beyonce’s music director Kim Burse and choreography by Beyonce’s dance master Frank Gatson Jr. – takes us into the fabulously funky world of voguing. (Remember the documentary Paris is Burning?) Here the setting is contemporary downtown LA. Our hunky, homeless hero Brad , discarded by his homophobic mom, falls in with the members of the House of Eminence, ruled by the stern aging diva Queef Latina, who keeps a careful, loving watch over her makeshift family of runaways and throwaways. When two of her crew fall for Brad, the Queef is royally unamused.’ [Read more…]
