Gay Short Films & Web Series

I known a few couples who’ve split up and decided to keep living together, or who have moved back in with one another later ‘just as friends’ – and to be honest most of the time it causes more problems than it’s worth.

A similar situation arises in the new lesbian-themed web series, Til Lease Do Us Part, which has been released via the extremely popular The Gay Women Channel on Youtube. The first four episodes on online now, with two more due on the next two Wednesdays.

Til Lease Do Us Part  follows two roommates who are trying to get back into the dating world with one problem: they’re exes. Take a look at the first four episodes and a look behind-the-scenes below. [Read more…]

Another gay-themed web series has come to our attention and it’s one you might want to catch up with. Each episode is fairly short, but filled with humour and witty looks at gay life.

So far six episodes have been made, but only four are online, as the latest two, ‘Sugar Daddy’ and ‘Gay Marriage’ are being submitted to film festivals, with the hope they can gain a bit of recognition and a wider audience there. Hopefully they’ll be released online soon.

However you can take a look at the first four eps below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Coffee Talk is about gay college friends confronting hot-button issues over a cup of coffee: tattoos, gays in sports, feminine men, gay dads, sugar daddies, gay marriage… When emotions emerge and personal secrets are revealed, the discussion quickly goes in an unexpected direction, ending in a funny gag. The web series seeks to develop awareness about gay topics in an entertaining way, and is subtitled in major languages. Enjoy watching the videos right here on skyriderfilms.com!’ [Read more…]

Things move fast in the world of the web series Youthful Daze, it’s only just over a month ago that one of the lead characters, Drew, came out as gay – and he’s already involved in a love triangle.

As the press release says, ‘Shortly after revealing that protagonist Drew (Bryan James) is gay, award winning hit soap Youthful Daze is now introducing a gay love triangle. Drew and Tommy (Ethan Daniel Corbett) may have just come out of the closet to the students of Westfield Prep, but there is already trouble in paradise. Sexual tension has been brewing between Drew and Oliver (Easton Schirra), and this week they give in to temptation in a parking garage rendezvous. Drew insists he’s with Tommy, but his actions might tell a different story.’

New episodes of Season Two of Youthful Daze are currently being released Sunday nights on www.youthfuldaze.com. Production on Season Three is underway and is set to premiere on August 31st.

Take a look at the love triangle episode below. [Read more…]

August is going to be a good months for lovers of big hairy gay men. As we reported a few days ago, Season 3 of the popular Where The Bears Are is due to start, and now Portugal is getting in on the action with its first gay bear web series, Barba Rija (Rough Beard).

You can watch the trailer for the show below.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘It follows the lives of three gay friends who are bears but have a soft heart. António, Pedro and Ursão (Big Bear) live in Lisbon. They work, go out at night and get in romantic adventures. Pedro ended up with his boyfriend and is the group´s lovebird. António is the most rational of the three and has a secret passion. Finally, Big Bear is the strongest, but also the sweetest, who will be surprised with a change in his life. It might look like a soap opera but it´s comedy at its best. The three are the symbol of fellowship, of various types of masculinity, affections, concerns and expectations that belong to all human beings. André Murraças, the author (writer and director), is a published author who writes also for theatre and tv and was nominated for a Primetime Emmy.

‘It was originally thought as a 13 episodes project for which we managed a good amount on advertising (bars, clubs, brands), but not enough for the whole series. So we decided to take a step back and do one episode through crowdfunding. The crowdfunding was a success, we got even more money than expected and we were able to do 7 episodes of 5 minutes approx.

You can follow the show when it starts in August on its Youtube channel. [Read more…]

Just over a year ago the short film, First Kiss, went massively viral with its simple premise of asking strangers to get in front of the camera and kiss for the first time. Now a follow up is here, and this time they’re going a little further than kissing, as 20 people who’ve never met before are asked to take each other’s clothes off, all while being filmed.

And as you’d hope, there are both same sex and mixed sex couplings.

There’s a fair amount of embarrassment, fumbling and people being unable to get the other person’s clothing unclasped properly, all before they slip into bed, with some getting closer there than others.

Tatia Pileva directs the film which is actually a promotion for the second season of Masters Of Sex (which does make us wonder if the film is as candid this time around as the first one was).

Fans of the more hirsute gentleman rejoice!

Season 3 starts on August 11th at wherethebearsare.tv but ahead of that comes the trailer, which you can watch below. And if you’re a fan of the show, you’ll be pleased to hear there are 22 new episodes coming this time around!
