Southwest Gay & Lesbian Film Festival 2008

John (Jesse Rosen) moves from New York to L.A. hoping to make some changes. He and his girlfriend have just broken up and he’s ready to start anew on the West Coast. He moves in with some old friends and catches up with an old college friend Maddy (Rachel Castillo). He’s surprised to find out that Maddy is a lesbian. Being another East Coast import, Maddy’s sick and tired of her job but is even more stressed by her girlfriend’s new plan to move in. And yet her new handsome neighbor is providing a titillating distraction. On the other hand, John’s new job at an advertising agency is causing its own stress as his handsome boss Paul (Johnny Ray) starts hitting on him. Though John has a reputation among his friends of being something of a ladies man, he’s slowly falling into Paul’s trap and it’s making him question himself. First-time director Jesse Rosen deftly tells us in this indie dramedy that it’s ok not to know. – James Montaño
