Gay Short Films & Web Series

The gay-themed documentary Fulboy came out on DVD earlier this week, and now to compliment the release, the short film Tomas The Defendor has popped up online, which was made by the same director, Martín Farina, and features one of the main subjects of Fulboy, the titular Tomas.

The short synopsis merely says: ‘Tomas, the Defendor of a football team, embraces the passion for football in his dream, in the garden, in his daily life…’ However when you watch the film you’ll see that it’s as much about Farina’s camera carressing the male form and bringing a hint of the sexual to Tomas’ life and love of football. The lens is brought in close to Tomas’ chest and groin, with only small parts of his body in frame at any one time.

Admittedly, it does getting a tad creepy when you realise that Martín and Tomas are brothers, and so he is sexualising his own sibling, but it still works. Take a look at it below.

The first couple of episodes of #NoHomo were a lot of fun, following Tyler and Skyler, two straight guys (played by models Christian Plauche & Matthew Egan) who decide that the best way for them to get with women is to pretend to be gay.

However their plan quickly starts to go awry, especially after being asked to actually do something gay, but they keep at it. With the latest eps, a Gayru leaves them slightly confused in Episode 3, while they hold a seance to contact the ghost of Liberace in Episode 4 and in Episode 5, Ryder and Jessica make bets to get the boys laid, using their playing gay plan against them.

Although from the outside it might sound like the show is making fun of being gay, the makers are keen to point out ‘By reversing the roles of fitting into heteronormative society, the show is a parody of the stereotypes that plague the LGBT community and boasts a strong message, we are more successful when we are ourselves.’

You can watch Episodes 1 & 2 here and here, and then catch up with the series in the videos below. [Read more…]

Youtube isn’t a big fan of sexually explicit content, but Canadian filmmaker Stephen Dunn has found a way around that by telling pornographic tales in the form of pop-up books. The set-up is simple, a narrator tells the story, and on screen we see it brought to life in pop-up form.

There are three videos so far in the series, which debuted earlier this year at Sundance, but we’re concentrating on the gay-themed ‘mfm’ (there’s also ‘m4f‘ and ‘f4m‘) which tells the tale of a Grindr encounter which got sexy and then awkward very quickly – told complete with pop-up penises.

It’s an amusing (based-on-a-true) story and the way it’s told is extremely entertaining, so take a look at it below.

Ryan Davey’s sweet, funny and sometimes slightly provocative Disc Of Love has screened at several festivals, including the 2015 Melbourne Queer Film Festival and the 2015 Tampa International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, and now the director has released it online for us all to enjoy.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘A gay themed short film which tells the story of Jake, who is leaving town to visit his parents for the weekend. His roommate Lucas is acting in a strange manner. He tries to find out why but all he receives is a mix CD. As he is driving to his parents he discovers what is on this mysterious disc.’

But then there’s a bit of a twist. Take a look at the film below.

Almost a year ago we got The Digustings, a great short film about a couple of gay men who hate and bitch about absolutely everything, putting down the world around them as a way to ignore their own deficiencies.

Now writer/director/star Jordan Firstman is back with a follow-up, which once more co-star gay entertainment mainstay Drew Droege, where the duo’s alter-egos are giving relationship advice that nobody has asked them for.

The Digustings: Save The Date is a collaboration with Gawker and the Hulu show Difficult People, and it’s been suggested that we may get to see more of this satirical skewing of some of the worst parts of gay culture in the future.
