7:30 PM – MOM
mom (Erin Greenwell, USA, 2006, 70 min) Emily Burton stars as Kelly, a market researcher with aspirations of being a TV news field reporter. When her marketing firm ships her off to the town of Little Hope to gather data, she finds herself accompanied by Linda (comedian Julie Goldman), a butch, talkative cameraperson who has aspirations of her own - to be a tattoo artist. When the local hotel in Little Hope runs out of rooms they find themselves at a youth hostel where their adventure together begins to twist and turn as they hesitantly cohabitate. Tensions really erupt when a bored housewife is thrown into the mix (Emma Bowers) and the annual Chili Cook-off hits the small town. Friction translates to laughable moments as we take a ride with Kelly and Linda as they learn a few things about themselves and gain new perspectives on their own lives. Filmmaker Erin Greenwell will be in attendance.

Preceded by Attack of the Bride Monster (Vicky Boone, USA, 2005, 17 min) A “Bride Monster” is loose in the gay community; can Betty and Stella’s 25-year relationship survive. This short entertainingly combines live acting and animation to create a fun look into the “Bride Monster”.

 


9:30 PM - Another Gay Movie
another (Todd Stephens, USA, 2006, 92 min) Andy (Michael Carbonaro) is your typical All-American seventeen-year-old gay virgin. Like everyone else, he’s dying to have sex. Totally out of the closet and mad-crazy horny, Andy spends much of his private time practicing for the big moment when he’ll finally take the plunge. Andy is not the only booty-virgin. His three best friends, Jarod, the buff, blonde varsity-jock stud, Griff, the valedictorian, sinewy sexy, and a closet romantic and Nico, the pierced alternative-kid gay-cinema expert, all join him on the raunchy ride on the bumpy road to butt love. Mentoring them is Muffler, the boys’ bulldyke Casanova stud bud, a cheerleader-magnet with loads of sexual experience under her mullet. With an all star gay cast including James Getzloff (Boy Meets Boy), Darryl Stephens (Noah’s Arc), Mathew Rush, Graham Norton, Scott Thompson, Lypsinka and Richard Hatch. Inspired by films like American Pie, Porky’s and Scary Movie, Director Todd Stephens (Edge of Seventeen & Gypsy 83) states, “Between the cracks, I tried to create a galaxy hopefully not so far-far away. Where no one is tormented, tortured, or agonizes about who they are. Where “gay” is as normal as The Brady Bunch, and queer virgins want the same thing as their straight counterparts – to get laid! I set out to make the film I desperately wanted as a gay teen and the film Jerry Falwell desperately wants to ban.” Actor and Long Island native Michael Carbonaro will be in attendance. Preceded by Latch Key (Garth Bardsley, USA, 2005, 12min) Two adolescent brothers separately scheme to woo their respective playmates for an afternoon of sex.
