I've seen A LOT of indy gay films at film festivals and elsewhere. This film mixes a self-absorbed gay "influencer" with a more serious indy artist having more serious life issues. The contrast between the very real but superficial issues of the influencer and the very real and very serious issues of the indy artist never become stale or boring. The acting throughout the film is EXCELLENT. Jordon Firstman has to be the most self aware gossamer thin gay personalities today. He is always sexy, funny, and captivating to watch. Maybe a better film historian than me can come up with something remotely similar to this film, but I find it totally original, fresh, and captivating. If you get a chance to see it, give it a try.
