For those of us who are more, ahem, “mature”, being out and proud during our adolescence was just not an option - especially in Colorado where Ryan spent most of his coming of age years. In his interview, Ryan does a good job of articulating what it’s like when your body tells you you’re gay before you can even admit it to yourself. Sometimes surprising things can happen when a Tony Little VHS tape is near by. Ryan also describes being a part of Gainer culture and the different ways our bodies can be extensions of erotic desire that are not just about genitals and sexual performance.
As promised, here are links to film festivals that will be presenting Dave’s FRUITBOWL films this fall. Almost all these fests are providing online streaming.
STEPHEN & JAMES: BEST GIRLFRIENDS will be screening at:
LA’s OUTFEST, Aug. 13-22 in the BOYS SHORTS program. https://outfestla2021.com/boys-shorts/
Seattle’s LOCAL SIGHTINGS film festival at the Northwest Film Forum. https://nwfilmforum.org/festivals/local-sightings-film-festival-pacific-nw/
And these fests will present both STEPHEN & JAMES as well as FOUR FRUITBITES, a short that features interviewees from Season 2 who identify as trans, genderqueer and non-binary.
Austin’s PRISM Film Festival (also known as AGLIFF). Aug. 26 - Sept. 6. FOUR FRUITBITES will be in the “Indie Series” shorts program. STEPHEN & JAMES will be in the “Coming of Age” shorts program. https://www.agliff.org/schedule
