My Hustler Showing In LA September 14th

[+ Lucky]

I can't go to Outfest's showing of this collection of short films, but hope someone can report back on it:

 

Wednesday, September 14, 7:30pm, Rigler Theatre @ The Egyptian

 

 

MY HUSTLER

 

Not the classic Andy Warhol film, but a collection of shorts about hustlers that we can (or might want to) claim as our own. Highlighting men for hire from around the world - Canada, New Zealand, France and the U.S. - these are the gritty, visually stunning stories of rent boys with depth, beauty and that irresistible hustler mystique.

BOY

In small town New Zealand, a hustler discovers the key to a murder.

Arghhhh-cannot belive I missed the oppoyunity to finally meet Rod.

I had to work last night;(

So-hows about a review?

[Rod Hagen]

All 4 were just ok. I suppose the best was probably the first as it felt least tainted by a MFA.

I also made it and agree with Rod that the first was the best. The next few were trying to be different and did not succeed artisitically. The one with all of the dolls showed promise a a filmmaker though.

 

Nice crowd...didn't see Rod.
