Spa Night is a coming of age tale that is a really refreshing look at a young Korean/American man with a foot in two different cultures in which he doesn’t feel he fits, which in a way mirrors his parents own struggle to find their American identities. On top of that however, David has to come to terms with his own sexuality, which looks like it is going to take a great deal longer to resolve. Written & Directed by newbie filmmaker Andrew Ahn, it was one of the very best LGBT movies to emerge from Sundance this year.
queerguru talked to Dave Castleman for PTV about his first ever short movie that is debuting at Provincetown International Film Festival #PIFF16. He swapped the kings and moors of Scotland for the queens and beaches of Fire Island for his hilarious new take on one of Shakespeare’s classics now renamed MacBethenny.
Last week queerguru had the sheer joy of talking to the legendary performer Miss Thirsty Burlington who is ‘more Cher than Cher’ on the eve of the sneak preview of the first ever public screening of THIRSTY, a fab new movie based on her life. The setting was the equally fabulous Velvet Lounge in the heart of Provincetown just before the Provincetown International Film Festival #PIFF16 kicked off.
We showed a clip of the interview on PTV’s Facebook page last week and it quickly went VIRAL! Here then is the full conversation filmed by Heather Reed and also by Rik Ahlberg who edited the piece too.
P.S. Both screenings of THIRSTY sold out within hours breaking Festival Box Office records BUT a little dickie bird tells us that it will be back in Provincetown some time this summer, and also very soon in the Rest Of The World. Follow both PTV and Thirsty The Movie on Facebook to be sure not to miss out.
Writer/director Nathan Adloff’s (Nate & Margaret) new delightful dramedy MILES is about one young man’s unusual fight for equality and when he comes up against unbridled homophobia simply strengthens his resolve into accepting nothing less than he was entitled. Starring Molly Shannon and Paul Reiser but it’s newbie Tim Boardman as Miles who really shines.
Here is queerguru’s new promo tape for the coverage we are doing at P.T.V. for the Provincetown International Film Festival #P1FF16 . Thanks to both Heather Reed and Rik Ahlberg and all those filmmakers and stars that make our job such a sheer delight.
