Reviews
CinemaSerf
Grammy-nominated artist "Will" (Antonio Marziale) is doing a series of media interviews after his recent, highly successful, album release and is faced with his ex-boyfriend "Brandon" (Jacob Seidman) asking some questions on camera. Though ostensibly legitimate, these are clearly double edged and told by way of flashback, we see how that couple drifted apart, split and how the former man ends up with his older producer/manager/agent "Danny" (Blake Boyd). The question is, though: is he happy? Marziale is quite effective here but the film is way too short to do justice to a storyline that hints at complexity. I found that what we finished up with here is just a bit too incomplete and bitty for me.
You've reached the end.
