With I Don’t Know Who You Are, writer-director M. H. Murray has turned a harrowing real-life experience into a tense and eye-opening feature-length film debut.
After a traumatic encounter with a stranger, Toronto musician Benjamin (Mark Clennon) must pull together the money for HIV-preventive treatment, in the event that he’s been exposed to the virus, while also avoiding the man (Anthony Diaz) he’s just started dating.
With inner conflicts bubbling to the surface, I Don’t Know Who You Are examines how hard it is to exist in Toronto without money or status. Benjamin’s increasingly fraught visits to his friends serve as a tour through the city’s unspoken class system, shading in further aspects of his mounting anxiety.
Featuring a revelatory debut performance by Clennon, a Toronto-based artist and poet who also served as the film’s producer and story editor – and wrote and performed Benjamin’s songs – I Don’t Know Who You Are is one of the year’s most bracing and unforgettable gay films.
An infectiously fun and totally queer TV series from Australian filmmaker Lee Galea (the director of Monster Pies), Single, Out follows the romantic adventures of cute-as-a-button twink Adam (Will Hutchins), a teen exploring his love life and new gay world along with his semi-helpful family and friends.
In Single, Out: Season Two, Adam finds his relationship with Gabe (Jake Hyde) progressing to the next level – but there may be some unresolved issues still lingering. Adam also explores his passion for photography. It soon takes him into the world of adulthood and introduces a whirlwind of fresh faces and experiences.
Now out and proud, Adam is well on his way to becoming a man… but will he like the man he’s becoming?

Set over Labor Day Weekend in coastal New England, The Extinction of Fireflies follows a writer looking for some feedback from a few close friends.
James (Drew Droege), a middle-aged playwright, invites longtime friend and legendary TV diva Charlotte (Tracie Bennett) and occasionally working actor friend Jay (Michael Urie) to read his latest dramatic effort – a tricky piece of work based on the epic romance of Roman Emperor Hadrian and his young lover Antinous.
When Jay ends up bringing along his new – and much younger – lover Callisto (Kario Marcel), the feedback proves spectacular and the fireworks begin to fly.
Written and directed by James Andrew Walsh, based on his stage play of the same title, The Extinction of Fireflies is a thoughtful, funny and layered passion project about art, creativity and aging as gracefully as possible.
