Hardline presents: Going Down in LA-LA Land - Vancouver Queer Film Festival 2011

Hardline is really excited to share these great films with festival goers at this years Vancouver Queer Film Festival. Going down in LA-LA Land is a fabulous tale, of a yonge and beatifull New Yorker with his eyes set on making it big in Hollywood.., the rest, well you'll just have to see!

Last year director Casper Andreas brought his charming “fag-hag” comedy, Violet Tendencies, to the Vancouver Queer Film Festival, selling out two screenings and making news on CityTV’s Breakfast Television. This year Casper is back with an impressive foray into dramatic filmmaking.

Based on the novel by Andy Zeffer, Going Down in LA-LA Land is a no-holds-barred look at Hollywood. Adam, a baby-faced New Yorker, moves to Los Angeles to—you guessed it—try to break into acting. He and his theatre school chum Candy move in together, but their non-existent careers don’t pay the rent. Candy seeks older, wealthier bachelors, while Adam slips into gay porn and escorting. New to and naïve about the gritty world of sex work, Adam is lucky enough to find a steady trick who also happens to be a famous television dad on a family sitcom. It isn’t long before their affair is swept up in whirlwind of Hollywood gossip that puts Adam in a spotlight he never bargained for.

HARDLINE Spotlight VQFF Sponsored Film: AUGUST

August (eRAP Film Productions)
Review by Dennis Harvey Variety Magazine
Vancouver Queer Film Festival 2011 Thu | Aug 18 | 5:00 | IV

Murray Bartlett tries to reconnect with an ex in L.A. in “August.”

Powered By An eRap Film Prods. presentation of a Manalang/Brodkzi production. Produced by Alexander Brodzki, Samantha Manalang. Executive producers, Jeffrey Conrad, Greg Smith, Darryl Schirmer, Brodzki, Eldar Rapaport. Directed by Eldar Rapaport. Screenplay, Rapaport, from a story by Brian Sloan, Rapaport.

With: An elemental triangle elevated by unusually detailed attention to nonverbal psychological cues, "August" is a gay romantic drama that's sexy without feeling like a flimsy excuse to bare well-toned skin (although its heatwave-in-L.A. setting conveniently allows just that). With minimal dialogue and a strong but subtle directorial hand, writer-helmer Eldar Rapaport probes the tensions that ensue when an ex re-enters the life of the now happily re-coupled lover he'd previously abandoned. Pic isn't quite novel or universal enough to attract crossover biz, but should draw gay male auds in home formats in various territories, with limited theatrical exposure possible.

Handsome, charming, hardbodied Troy (Murray Bartlett) is back in Los Angeles after several years in Spain, claiming he was homesick. Shopping for a new architecture job and home, he shows signs of permanent resettlement here. But it's soon clear that all this depends on whether he can worm his way back into the affections of younger Jonathan (Daniel Dugan), whose heart he broke not so long ago.

Actually that's not the problem: Jonathan's feelings for Troy are like an addiction he thought he'd kicked but comes roaring back full-force. The real problem is that he's now involved with devoted, hunky Raoul (Adrian Gonzalez), an (unspecified) foreign national who has married Jonathan's co-worker (Hilary Goldsher) in order to get the U.S. citizenship that would keep the two men together.

While Troy and Jonathan deny their liaisons to everyone, their reinvolvement is soon perfectly obvious to everyone around them, Raoul included. But Raoul isn't going to surrender without a fight, and for all his weak-kneed acquiescence to Troy's pursuit, Jonathan isn't at all sure it's worth throwing over an unquestionably loyal love for another who's already betrayed him once.

There's nothing very complicated about "August" in narrative terms, but tonally and texturally, Rapaport conveys myriad layers of truth, trust, love and lust. Constant reminders that the city is undergoing a sweltering summer month amplifies the mood of simultaneous physical yearning and discomfort. Glances and body language convey much more here than the protags are generally willing to say out loud.

While Rapaport doesn't explore their inner lives beyond the immediate crisis at hand (there's nothing like the fully rounded personality-sketching of triangle participants in last year's "The Kids Are All Right"), perfs thoughtfully mine what depths there are. Lensing, editing and design contributions are all assured.

Part of our Annual sponsorship HARDLINE gets to present three films. We are so happy witrh our selections and the first on our list to preview is STRAPPED.

Sat | Aug 13 | 7:00 | Cineplex International Village
It’s a stormy Saturday night and a young, handsome rent-boy has a problem. The problem is not a bad date, but an apartment building: a colossal labyrinth of hallways, doorways and stairwells. As the nameless hustler tries to find his way out of the apartment building after a date, he finds himself “fallen down the rabbit hole” of gay sex, money and strange, brief encounters.

Strapped is a dream-like character sketch of a refreshingly well-spoken prostitute and the very different men who seek a little of his time. The dialogue is laced with Shakespearean and Foucaultian references and the sex is peppered with a raw tenderness that, at times, even surprises the calm and collected protagonist. This balanced blend of intellect and intimacy makes this feature drama by debut director Joseph Graham a delight.
