A: Look for a mentor … Filmmaking is hard! You can be successful, but it can be hard to get funding. Movies are a passion, an addiction. It’s the most rewarding … you come up against your limits … when you can make it come alive, it’s amazing!

Yes, this sounds very interesting. My sister in laws friend, a brilliant man, was unfortunately killed on this scene, such a loss. One can only hope that respect and some recognition as in this film will help. I sure would like to see a follow-up.
This movie looks fascinating. I wonder what effect, if any, the documentary will have on the lives of the men interviewed? It's interesting to think about the impact of movies on people's lives, and this movie is a perfect example. Will it help other men in similar situations see their way out of unhappy situations? Will it reduce the stigma of being gay--especially in the African American community? And lastly, I think it's very cool that such an intimate film on men was done by a woman.
It feels good to write.
