A young cowboy finds romance in the acclaimed new Australian drama Lonesome

From acclaimed Australian filmmaker Craig Boreham (Teenage Kicks) comes the riveting and ridiculously sexy Lonesome, a modern gay romance about a young cowboy who falls in love with the big city… and the man he meets there.

Casey (Josh Lavery) is a country lad on the run from a small-town scandal. While trying to rebuild his life Sydney, he meets Tib (Daniel Gabriel), a street-smart city boy struggling with his own scars of isolation. Together, both men soon discover the emotional and sexual connection that they have been missing.

With gorgeous visuals, natural dialoge and a tasteful approach to sex-positivity, Lonesome is one of the hottest and most romantic films of the year so far. The film was a massive hit at festivals – including Frameline, Seattle, Provincetown, NewFest and over 45 others worldwide.

Easier with Practice

2009, United States

In his feature debut, gay writer/director Kyle Patrick Alvarez offered up this funny, thoughtful and sexy story of a shy, hopelessly romantic writer’s attempt to turn phone sex into a loving relationship. Cutie-pie Brian Geraghty (“The Alienist,” “Boardwalk Empire,” The Hurt Locker) stars as Davy, a scruffy, socially-awkward young nerd who has never had a meaningful romantic relationship. When he gets a strange, unexplained call from a woman named Nicole, who uses her sultry voice and graphic imagination to seduce him, something is awakened. Our lonely hero becomes infatuated with his new mysterious dream girl. As their relationship develops, Davy becomes hopelessly obsessed with meeting the reluctant Nicole in person – alienating friends, family and other romantic prospects in the process. On a shoestring budget, using few actors, realistic dialog and some truly impressive long takes, Alvarez (who went on to direct C.O.G., The Stanford Prison Experiment and multiple episodes of the Netflix series “13 Reasons Why”) crafts an honest, emotional and thoroughly engrossing mystery.
