it nice that these three young directors have produced films with good productions values and decent acting. there some good work here. unfortunately they suffer from what afflicts much of modern gay cinema while recycled plots and too familiar devices (i have seen the pool setting way too many times in gay male films) and hackneyed scripts. most egregious of all is dorothy whose preposterous premise is that a cute young guy will have trouble getting laid in nyc due to a shortage of identifiable availabe gay guys in his vicinity. in terms of cinema these shorts play like tacky little gay afterschool specials. not a lot of imagination in their writing or execution while basically they follow a point and shoot and shot or reaction shot or master shot convention which becomes painfully dull after five or so minutes. there hope for queer cinema in the works of todd haynes and sadie benning and the late and great marlon riggs. but not here. these films are incredibly middlebrow and singularly whitebread and their values basically pander to a gay bourgeois sensibility. which is probably why they play so well at gay film festivals.
