Geography Club (US Cinema/VoD)

November 18, 2013 By Tim Isaac 1 Comment

Starring: Cameron Deane Stewart, Meaghan Martin, Justin Deeley, Andrew Caldwell
Director: Gary Entin
Running Time: 80 mins
Certificate: PG-13
Release Date: November 15th 2013

Based on Brent Hartinger’s popular book, Geography Club follows high school student Russell (Cameron Deane Stewart), who’s just figuring out his sexuality but not ready to tell the world about it yet. He’s also involved in a fledgling relationship with star quarterback Kevin (Justin Deeley), although the sportsman is absolutely determined nobody will find out about it.

Russell ends up getting involved with the new Geography Club, which has nothing to do with geography. It’s actually just a boring name to stop anyone bothering them, as it’s really a secret club for LGBT teens to talk about their problems and connect. However their secrets may be difficult to keep and they may have to face whether they want to come out in the open. [Read more…]

Test and Born This Way Take Major Outfest Gay Film Festival Awards

July 22, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

test-posterOutfest, the world’s premier LGBT film festival, has drawn its 2013 edition to a close, handing out its awards to a slew of well-received titles. Top of the bunch were Test, which won the Grand jury award for U.S. dramatic feature, while Born This Way took home the Grand jury award for documentary feature, and It’s All So Quiet won the Grand jury award for international dramatic feature.

Test, directed by Chris Mason Johnson, is described as ‘a poignant, powerful story of friendship and hope in a time of crisis, set in the San Francisco modern dance scene of 1985 in the early years of the AIDS epidemic: when headlines threatened a gay quarantine and when nobody knew for certain how the disease spread.’ Born This Way concentrates on the difficult of gay life in Cameroon, while the Dutch movie It’s All So Quiet focusses on a middle aged farmer, living with his old and bedridden father, as he tries to find truth in life.

Also doing well was Bridegroom, which took home the Audience award for documentary feature. Bridegroom the the documentary that came about after Shane Bitney Crone released a 10-minute Youtube video detailing how he was shut after his boyfriend’s death by his homophobic family. It became a cause celebre and was watched by millions. Linda Bloodworth-Thomason has since turned the sad tale into a feature-length documentary.

We’re also looking forward to seeing Geography Club, which won Audience award for first U.S. dramatic feature, which looks like it should be a lot of fun.

Geography Club Trailer – Keeping your sexuality hush hush with a secret school society

February 9, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

geography-club-posterThere ought to be more gay-themed teen movies. One that’ll hopefully arrive soon is Geography Club, which has just released its first trailer – and you can watch that below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Based on Brent Hartinger’s best-selling critically acclaimed novel, Geography Club is a smart, fast, and funny account of contemporary teenagers as they discover their own sexual identities, dreams, and values. 16-year old Russell is still going on dates with girls while having a secret relationship with football quarterback Kevin, who will do anything to prevent his football teammates from finding out. Min and Terese tell everyone that they’re just really good friends. And then there’s Ike who can’t figure out who he is or who he wants to be. Finding the truth too hard to hide, they all decide to form the Geography Club, thinking nobody else in their right mind would ever want to join. However, their secrets may soon be discovered and they could have to face the choice of revealing who they really are.’

As you can see from the trailer, familiar faces such as Scott Bakula and Glee’s Alex Newell also make an appearance in the movie. It feels like it could be pretty fun, with a serious side as well as plenty of rom-com humour. [Read more…]
