Please note: This was screened in July 2015
This gentle tale of two gay brothers from rural California is one of small-town regret and brotherly misunderstandings. Chet (Mark Strano) and Todd (Frankie Valenti aka former adult star Johnny Hazard - and yes, he can act) are the brothers who grew up under a homophobic, working class single father. While charismatic, out-and-proud Todd ran off the LA to become an actor, closeted introvert Chet stayed at home to run the family store and look after their father.
When Todd's promiscuous lifestyle falls apart and their father dies, he is forced to return home and to the brother he left behind. There long-simmering resentments boil to the surface and the pair must confront their differences - and their similarities. A riveting debut that poignantly depicts the ins and outs of family dynamics and small town life - and the journeys we must all take.
Screening with Wham Bam Mr Pam, a unique look at a female videographer who has spent the past fifteen years making some of the most explicit and award winning gay adult films. Mr Pam is shockingly frank and pragmatic in the way she describes her work and herself. Enlightening, refreshing, and rather a long way from just another day at the office!
