New York City GLBT Film Festival
So Ken and I checked out a couple movies at this year's festival. Nothing blew me away, but I was not disappointed either. Here's the rundown: Stewart Wade's "Coffee Date" is non-stop laughs with great dialogue. Hopefully, it will find a distributor and you will be able to check it out. If you want a different sort of gay in high school flix, check out Todd Verow's "Vacationland." If you want to be weirded out, check out João Pedro Rodrigues's "Two Drifters." If you want to see brooding teenager, great script and acting, check out Christoph Hochhäusler's "Low Profile."
Check out Ken's blogs for more info on these films. http://kennethtl.blogspot.com/

I am still working them :p
You guys are so good at seeing movies. I saw "Set-Off" last night on cable, and totally forgot about Cleo, Queen Latifah's character, being gay. Her best friends would always look away when she'd kiss her girlfriend. I grew up in a neighborhood like the one in the movie and I was trying to remember if there were any openly gay folks. There were folks who were accused of being gay. I'm not sure. Although, I think lesbianism would definitely be more tolerated.
