Filmmaker COREY SHERMAN talks about his debut feature BIG BOYS on the eve of its US Premiere at WICKED QUEER

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , , , ,

 

On the eve of the US Premiere of BIG BOYS at Wicked Queer, Boston’s LGBTQ Film Festival, we catch up with the film’s writer/director Corey Sherman. This feature film debut of his is a heart-string-pulling coming-of-age about unrequited love with a difference. Jamie, the protagonist ( a breakthrough performance from 14-year-old Isaac Krasner) is not the conventional well-turned-out teen which not only gives the story a real edge but makes it undeniably compelling and a sheer joy to watch

queerguru reviews Southwest of Salem : The story of The San Antonio 4

Posted on Categories queerguru.tvLabels , , ,


This is one of those hard-to-believe it’s true stories that never really grabbed the attention of the media so when you come to it in ignorance and it unfolds on the screen and you hear the horrifying incredulous details, you cannot fail to be stunned into a combination of shock and anger.  The latter particularly if you identify as LGBT as this outrageous case of mis-justice is deeply rooted in intransigent homophobia.

queerguru reviews Southwest of Salem : The San Antonio 4 for P.T.V.   The movie has a special screening at Boston’s Wicked Queer Festival on February 27th 2017.
