Looking For Love in All the Wrong Places

Playful, whimsical and sometimes sexually explicit, these shorts use mythology, animation and visual experimentation to explore gay/straight sexual identity, SMBD, and the multiple spaces where men look and find erotic connections. GAY FOR PAY (Austin Ryan Vuz, USA, 2013) The documentary explores the stigmatized culture of “Gay for Pay” and looks at why straight men prostitute themselves. TOM'S GIFT (Todd Verow, USA, 2013) A humorous, sexy and elegiac remembrance of a porn store in rural New England. PETER AND THE WOLF (Wes Hurley, USA, 2012) In this sexy modern take on the classic fairy tale, neither Peter nor the Wolf are what they seem. CHASER (Sal Bardo, USA, 2012) Alienated from his conservative Jewish family and culture, a promising, gay young schoolteacher seeks solace in the bare-backing community. LORD COCKWORTHY (Clark Nikolai, Canada, 2010) An Edwardian-era aristocrat, a photographer and an expressionist painter go on a picnic in the English countryside and encounter wild, lusty nature. MELTDOWN (Mike Kuchar, USA, 2012) Waiting to die and waiting to live is the same thing to him that chants: "Let me not be mad... let me not be MAD... LET ME NOT BE MAD!" ALONE WITH YOU (Doug Ishar, USA, 2011) The two main characters, a hot young wrestler (the maker's object of desire) and Robert Mapplethorpe serve as both alter-ego and nemesis for the filmmaker. A BIGGER SPLASH (Martin Borden, Canada, 2010) The poignant life of a discarded latex condom is followed.
