"Lawrence Jefferies is a guy who's found the flow in his life; he knows how to trust his gut and follow his instincts. Driven by a loving curiosity and strong sense of adventure, he lives his life with a freedom and confidence most men envy. Hugh Greerey, by contrast, lives under the influence of his self-consciousness, struggling to connect to a deeper sense of who he really is. There is a power and intensity to Hugh's spirit which he fights to hold in check until the two meet by happenstance and a defining moment between them opens one into his humanity and propels the other into his soul."
____________
Carlos Salas and Nick Soper star in this short film about two guys who act on the fact that they are incredibly attracted to one another. In the aftermath, one of them seems to have second thoughts.
We appreciate all your comments...for those of you who have asked the AWARDS we won are: Best Short FIlm, Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival; Best Alternative Short, New York International Independent Film and Video Festival; Best Men's Short, Pittsburgh LGBT film festival. Both Nick Soper and Carlos Salas were nominated for best actor awards at Method Fest...neither of them won but out of 60 possible, two of the six nominated were these two talented actors and we're very proud of them both.
And...again...the song at the end is Nicola Quilters SLEEP, DREAM, WAKE
As far as our sexuality and our sexual identity...we like to say...on the Kinsey scale of 0-6 10% are gay, 10% are considered str8 and a whopping 80% were said to be somewhere in between.

James is a young boy who struggles as the outsider at his school. His teacher, Mr. Sutherland, is the only person he feels he can connect with. When James finally puts a voice to his feelings, Mr. Sutherland's response isn't what James had hoped for.
FOCUSING ON A BOY IN NORTHERN IRELAND ISOLATED BY HIS SEXUALITY AND ALIENATED FROM HIS FAMILY DUE TO HIS PARENT'S MARITAL TROUBLES, THE TITLE CHARACTER, "JAMES", REACHES OUT IN DESPERATION TO HIS TEACHER FOR SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE.
James is the most emotionally powerful film of this year's Sundance lineup, and through superior writing creates a worthy addition to this over-exposed genre.
The director Connor Clements is a first-time writer/director. In documenting a universal experience among gays and lesbians, he discovers a new angle, crafting a story that is of course personal and local, but also challenges all viewers, not just those who are queer, with questions regarding teachers and students, that resonate in our culture.
What I love, being again someone who likes to think about films, to chew on the topics and questions they present, is the ambiguity that is present in the film. James comes out to his teacher, yet does not get the kind of warm response he desired. He is instead gently rebuffed from leaning upon the older man for support. Interestingly though, his teacher reveals that he was not surprised by James announcement. He also mentions somewhat forlornly about a boy a "few years back" who came out and had great difficulties, when he warns James to continue to keep his sexuality a secret. Is the teacher gay as well?
That is the reading I got. And it lends an even greater sadness to the film, as it suggests that the nature of closeting oneself off continues through time. That even though the teacher understands James' situation, he is psychologically unable to reveal himself in a true friendship. A second possibility is that the instructor feels empathy, but needs to push James away as a matter of perception. That, perhaps especially by being in a Catholic school setting, it would be too easily misunderstood by others for him to be engaging in such a personal relationship with a young student. If that is the case it is tragically ironic, that the fear of, and potential for an inappropriate relationship, directly drives James into that exact situation.
It is these kind of deep readings which I find rare in the rather literal world of short film, and so i do appreciate it when I find them. With it also being a film that stuck with me for some time after watching it, I find it easy to heartily recommend James.
