There are plenty of gay-themed films out there looking for crowdfunding, but even with the power of the web, it’s still tough for films that are a bit more experimental to get the cash they need. M/M is hoping to be the exception though, as it’s currently seeking funding via IndieGoGo.
Here’s the enigmatic synopsis: ‘Matthew is a Canadian new to Berlin. He’s come to escape from himself, make a fresh start. When he meets Matthias, he finds what he’s been looking for. Matthias is the new Matthew. Consciously or unconsciously, Matthew begins to take over Matthias’ identity. He cuts his hair, gets a tattoo, buys new clothes. When Matthias gets into a motorcycle accident, the opportunity is too perfect. Matthew is Matthias. In his coma, Matthias’ dreams and memories blur together, merging with the reality happening outside. Interior becomes exterior. Where the real ends and the artificial begins is a puzzle for all parties involved.’
The makers are also keen to add that, ‘Satisfying and challenging queer content remains at a premium. M / M is not a coming out story. It’s not a movie about being gay. It’s not sassy quips and Bellinis. It’s not about advocacy. M / M is a film and its main characters are gay.’
Drew Lint is set to direct the film, with the hope that if they can get the funding together it will shoot in Germany in October.
You can take a look at the brief promo trailer for M/M below, as well as one for Lint’s recent short film, Rough Trade. If you think it looks interesting, head over the IndieGoGo for more info and to contribute. [Read more…]

If you heard that SNL alums Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader were starring in a movie together, you’d expect zany comedy to ensue. And if you heard Hader was playing a gay character, you might have visions of his outrageously camp SNL character, Stefan.

For many years now it’s been commented on that while much of the Star Trek universe is about tolerance and different races of humanoids learning to live and work alongside one another, there’s a severe lack of gay people in Starfleet.
When The Disappearance Of Eleanor Rigby was first announced it sounded like a fascinating idea, but one that was always going to make the backers worried. The idea was that it would essentially be a double feature – Him and Her – with each movie showing the life of a couple, first from one of their perspectives and then the other.
