Another Gay Movie

Directed by Todd Stephens

In American Pie, the juicy object of covert teenage lust was a plain old apple pie. But Andy (Michael Carbonaro) the horndog hero of Another Gay Movie is decidedly queer, so nothing less than fresh Quiche Lorraine will do - not to mention a whole garden of phallic vegetables, and at least two pet hamsters. Much to the horror of his mom (drag sensation Lypsinka), little Andy is “going anal.” With the help of Muffler (Ashlie Atkinson), a sexed-up party dyke who has no trouble scoring cheerleaders and his sexually ambiguous dad (Kids in the Hall’s Scott Thompson), Andy has made a pact with his 3 hunky homo pals that by summer’s end, all cherries will be popped.

Lets meet our hunky homo pals: studly jock Jarod (Jonathan Chase), thinks he’s pure top and boasts about his conquests, dorky Griff (Mitch Morris, last seen in Queer As Folk) is getting to work creating a mountable bubble butt aided by buff hottie aerobics teacher Angel (Darryl Stephens, thugged-up and almost unrecognizable from Noah's Arc), flamboyant cinema geek Nico (Jonah Blechman, from Luster) is aiming to make Survivor‘s Richard Hatch his number-one Daddy, and as for Andy, a schoolboy crush on the stern foreign exchange teacher Mr. Pukov (Comedy Central’s darling Graham Norton) is a slippery slope (and we do mean slippery) to misadventures we cannot reveal here. From the writer of Edge of Seventeen and Gypsy ‘83, Todd Stephen’s Another Gay Movie signals a creative shift in queer cinema by taking a conventional teen sex comedy and putting an unabashedly gay spin on it: a Porky’s for pork-lovers.

Intentionally chosen as our Closing Gala choice, Another Gay Movie is witty, smart and an unabashed guilty pleasure. These randy boys – and all the studly rump-rangers they’re after - are jaw-droppingly lewd and bone-poppingly hot. With an all star gay cast, the movie is so raunchy, so steamy, and so non-stop funny that it makes straight sex comedies like American Pie seem… well, tight-assed.

Director Todd Stephens and actors Michael Carbonaro (Andy), Ashlie Atkinson (Muffler) and Darryl Stephens (Angel) will attend the screening to discuss the film with the audience.

Todd Stephens hails from rural Ohio. Upon graduating from the NYU film school, he wrote and produced Edge of Seventeen, which was selected for the 1999 Sundance Film Festival and nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. His other films include Gypsy ‘83 (2001) and the screenplay for The Donna Rivers Story (2002), for Lifetime television.
