Queer Cinema Catchup
Once upon a time two childhood neighbors made movies together in the backyard until one of them had to move away. Twenty years later, they are shocked to discover that they share a queer identity and a need for a roommate as they pursue their movie-making dreams in Los Angeles. What's that? You're not shocked that two gay people left home for Hollywood? Well, WE are and WE have a lot to catch up on when it comes to movies and our lives. We'd love for you to join us, even if you think we're a cliche because, hey, that's entertainment and this is Queer Cinema Catchup!
