THE ART OF BEING STRAIGHT

Director: JESSE ROSEN

U.S.A. • 2008 • 71MINS


John has recently moved from Boston to the west coast. he meets up with old college friends and lives up to his reputation as a ladies’ man. As he explores his new life in California with one-time girlfriend Maddie, now with her own girlfriend in tow, John succumbs to the charms of a male work colleague, throwing his life into utter confusion. Meanwhile, Maddie contemplates pushing the boundaries of her own queer sexual identity with the arrival of a new neighbour. This powerfully mature film approaches young adulthood with a confident
look at the sometimes hazy boundaries of sexuality, in a time when the search for the gay gene seems crusade-like.
