Outfest Line Up is released - FOURPLAY is in competition!

FOURPLAY will make its official world premiere (after a sneak preview at Frameline 36 in San Francisco) at the 30th Outfest Film Festival this July. It will compete in the narrative competition. Looks like a great crop of films in the competition with us, including Jonathan Lisecki's GAYBY (which is hilarious and shot by my friend Clay Liford) and SUNSET STORIES from directors Silas Howard and Ernesto Foronda, both of which I saw this year at SXSW. Not only is it a charming film, SUNSET STORIES was also shot by FOURPLAY's cinematographer, PJ Raval.

FOURPLAY is a feature comprised of four short films about sexual intimacy. Directed by Kyle Henry, each story mixes tones and gender relationships and approaches sex for what it is: an emotional, physical and sometimes transcendent experience. Shot over the course of four years, the film was funded partially by Kickstarter campaigns, the Texas Filmmaker's Production Fund, and other funding; it is executive produced by Jim McKay and Michael Stipe's C-Hundred Films and was shot on multiple formats, including the Sony EX3, the Canon 5D, and the Red camera.
