GAY INTEREST TRAILERS

From the first few seconds of this trailer, you’d think everyone in Land Of Storms spends their time hitting and slapping one another. However the rest of the promo reveals a less violent and potentially more interesting LGBT-themed movie.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Land of Storms is about the sexual awakening of Szabolcs, a young man who plays on a German soccer team, as does his roommate, Bernard. After an ugly argument, Szabolcs returns to Hungary where he meets Áron and a mutual attraction between the two boys develops. But when Bernard also shows up, a turbulent love triangle develops.’

TLA Releasing should be bringing out the film later this year. [Read more…]

Charlie David turned heads as an actor in the gay-themed likes of Dante’s Cove and A Four Letter Word, and has become a big of a queer cinema tour de force, writing Mulligans, directing the documentary I’m A Porn Star and producing Judas Kiss and Truth.

He’s also produced Coming Out, a mini-series which should be coming to DVD in the UK on February 10th from TLA Releasing.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘The explosive lives, loves and losses of an intermingled group of Montréalers are explored as they confront the subject of difference. Managing a modern relationship can be a mess. Single? Attached? Married? Divorced? Open? Closed? The most common answer is ‘It’s complicated.’ Get ready to come out with these characters as they negotiate acceptance, prejudice and just how much they’re willing to risk in the pursuit of love and happiness. Mat (Mathieu Blanchard) is a gay fashion photographer with nothing out of his reach until his ex, Ian (Marc-André Poliquin) resurfaces. Meanwhile, Hugo (Patrick Martin) pursues a secret relationship with Olivier (Sébastien Beaulac), a married father who keeps the closet door firmly shut. And finally, Téo (Dhanaé Audet-Beaulieu), is a young man who turns to drugs and prostitution after a messy coming out to his parents. Unaware of how close to home his struggles may come, Caroline (Mélanie Pilon) tries to help Téo get his life back together.’ [Read more…]

There seems to be a lot of people taking their shirts off in Capital Games, but that’s perhaps not surprising considering it’s based on a gay erotic novel by GA Hauser. The film version debuted at QFest and should be arriving on DVD in the US in February.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Take two ambitious men, one top LA advertising firm, add a competition for the same high ranking job and you have the potential for an explosion. Instantly the competing men detest each other on sight. Handsome, clean-cut Steve Miller quit the LAPD to work in the calm environment of a business office. What he didn’t realize was that the advertising industry was just as cut-throat as the mean streets of the City of Angels. When an exotic British newcomer is hired on, Steve knows this man is out for blood. Mark Richfield, the glamorous new kid in the office, soon wins favor with the big boss and co-workers causing Steve to cringe in jealousy. After a crazy night in the Santa Fe desert when a team building exercise on a business retreat goes wrong, the two men share a night of passion that neither can forget.

‘Wrongly assuming Mark is gay, Steve is devastated to learn that he is planning to be married in a month’s time. Meanwhile, Mark’s life falls into a complete shambles as the wedding machine barrels full steam ahead and he no longer loves his increasingly demanding fiancée. Torn between passionate love and passionate hatred, Steve and Mark endure agonizing decisions that will affect their lives forever.’ [Read more…]

As the photo shoot develops, so does Maia’s trust in Francesca who seduces her. Whilst Francesca’s sexual desires grow with intensity, Maia becomes uneasy with a strange unseen presence in the house.
