HBO recently announced that their gay-themed hit series Looking will be back on US screens starting January 11th. We had a brief teaser a few days ago and now HBO is giving us a look behind the scenes of the show with a couple of new videos.

You can take a look at them below.

The guy’s lives were in flux at the end of the first season, Jonathan Groff’s Patrick in the middle of a love triangle with Raul Castillo’s Richie and Russell Tovey’s Kevin. Meanwhile Agustin (Frankie J. Alvarez) and Frank’s (O.T. Fagbenle) relationship had hit the skids while Dom (Murray Bartlett) was trying to figure out his love life while also attempting to open a restaurant.

The makers have promised there’ll be plenty of change in Season 2. [Read more…]

Hopeful Romantic Trailer – Telling a gay-themed story of love and heartbreak through music

November 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Over the weekend the short film Hopeful Romantic made its debut in LA with the cast and crew – including George Takei – heading along to take a look at this unusual fusion of music and the movies.

Writer, star and creator of the short’s music, Matt Zarley, writes, ‘When I first started writing the music for this, I was deeply in love. The original plan was to write a simple little EP of love songs. I was so happy and I wanted everyone to know it. A few weeks into the process, my relationship ended abruptly without warning. I was devastated. It was hard for me to access a lot of positive loving feelings at the time. Out of that temporary writer’s block, I wrote “Constantly”. As I was finishing that song, I began to rethink my project. What was originally gonna be a 5 song EP of love songs suddenly took a turn. I had decided to construct a narrative…a journey with music being the guide.

‘Having had an extensive background in Broadway and musical theatre, it seemed natural to finally merge my two worlds together. Much of what I was writing about was also what I was experiencing in real life. Thru this creative journey, I began to heal myself. In the end, my faith and belief that there’s someone out there for all of us was restored. Holding onto the eternal cliche that “everything happens for a reason” couldn’t hold more truth for me now. I’m convinced that had I not loved as deeply as I did and had I not been so devastated, this project surely wouldn’t have happened. For that, I’m thankful for my once broken heart.’

Take a look at the trailer below. The film is currently being submitted to film festival, so maybe it’ll come to one near you soon. You can find out more on the short’s website. [Read more…]

November 10, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

He met bad boy Trent at the peak of his career, bad news. Trent dragged Zak down a road full of drugs and alcohol. He spiraled out of control, and his career was over. Years later Zak faces the past head on, finding out burried secrets which test his sobriety.’

Tyler Bradley writes, directs and stars. A 2015 release is planned, but to get a feel for the film take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

Fagbug Nation Trailer – Fighting for gay equality on a unique car-based mission

November 6, 2014 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

In 2007, Erin Davies’ VW Beetle was vandalized with a hateful slur while she was at a pride event. Rather than be ashamed of what happened, the art teacher turned activist drove around with the word on her car for a year before getting it completely remodeled as the Fagbug, rainbow coloured and covered in pride. She then hit the road with her loud, out and proud message to raise awareness of LGBT rights and speak up where so many have been silenced.

Fagbug Nation takes you behind the wheel of what it’s like to drive the now famous Fagbug. With six years of touring under her belt, director and activist Erin Davies (Fagbug) has her mind set on getting her car to all 50 states, Hawaii and Alaska being the final two. To pull this off, Erin went 54 days without a car, put her car on 5 boats, and flew on 14 planes. The Fagbug gets lei’d in Hawaii and drives through the midnight sun to Alaska, but first makes a pit stop at the Equality House in Topeka, Kansas.

While on the road and at speaking events, Erin meets a diverse cast of characters and recounts what she’s experienced over the past half-decade: praise from those who have been helped to find their own voice, condemnation from bigots and those within the LGBT community who don’t agree with her methods, confusion and applause from all walks of life.

The film is out in the US on DVD & VoD on December 2nd. [Read more…]

He suddenly has a stepfather and stepbrother, both far more perfect than he could ever hope to be.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Last Summer tells the story of two high school sweethearts, Luke and Jonah, who spend their final months together over the course of a long, quiet summer in the rural South, contemplating their uncertain future and the uncertain future of America.

Though he is somewhat aimless and unsure of his place in the world, he begins to find solace in an old camera that he finds in an antique store.

‘Last Summer positions their love story against a world of baseball fields, bicycles, church, and seemingly conservative values, though the boys never face adversity from their community; instead, they fit directly into the fabric of their all-American town.’ [Read more…]
