I’m a featured guest this year at Bent Con! Come play with me!

BENT-CON is the convention that encourages, celebrates and appreciates LGBT and LGBT-friendly comic-book, scifi, fantasy and horror artists, writers, creators, publishers, directors, actors, and producers, that create media targeted directly to LGBT audiences or the larger realm of underground and mainstream pop-culture as a whole.

But it’s just easier to think of it like a Comic-Con, only gayer…

BENT-CON is committed to encouraging the vast talent and creativity within a queer and queer-friendly environment for those passionate about sharing their respective talents with YOU — the Fans — New and not-so-new to the work found at this convention.

This year’s BENT-CON is shaping up to be bigger and better than the last! It runs December 3-4th at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, California, the heart of the media, gaming, comic and pop-culture world!

Aside from attending the different panels and skipping around like a little kid in a candy store, I’m speaking on these two panels.

Saturday, December 3rd – 5PM It Doesn’t Get Better. You Do: Queerness As A Super Power and You as the Hero:

With the rash of tragic teen suicides, the It Gets Better campaign launched, providing voices of support to struggling GLBT youth, telling them that the world will become a better place if they endure. In this provocative panel, guests utilize comics as inspiration, metaphor and guide to challenge the notion that the world gets better on its own, arguing instead that in learning to accept ourselves and the unique gifts we have, we remake the world for the better in the process.

Sunday, December 4th – 11AM SKINJOBS:

Nudity, Sexuality, Storytelling and Art. Nudity and sex are part of our lives, but they don’t always mean the same thing. The way they’re depicted can make a difference between erotic excitement, a mere state of being, or sublime artistic expression. Panelists delve into the different ways artists and movie creators use sex and nudity, wrestling with the question of should sex and nudity always be seen as erotica — with all the connotations therein – or are they also tools to express deeper stories about the human condition?

Don’t wait for it to come to a GLBT Film Festival near you. Or who knows? Maybe you missed the screening when it came to your town – but don’t fret.

There’s a remedy for that! It’s as simple as getting your own copy via the link on the right of the blog here (yeah, click the banner. It’s yellow and blue and it’s the one that says “Judas Kiss”).

I’ve frequently written and spoken about how important it is that we, as a community, lend support to queer media projects of all kinds.  It’s often very difficult just to get these films made!  Even still, most of the time when a film does manage to get in to the festivals many people will only get to view it if purchased.

Getting your own copy means film makers can make more movies! It also means actors like ME can get more roles because filmmakers know people buy the DVD’s we’re in. And please, if you can’t afford to buy your own copy fairly, remember it will eventually be available on Netflix and for rent on iTunes. Though, if you can’t wait to see it (like I know is true for so many of you!), then you’re better off pre-ordering yours now at a discounted rate.

Pre-ordered Judas Kiss DVD’s will ship October 25th – 6 days before my 25th birthday! No no, no need to get me gifts even though I’m now a whole quarter of a century old. For my 25th Birthday, why don’t you just get yourself something?  A copy of Judas Kiss through my link here on the right of the blog, maybe? You’ll not only be getting a great little movie in the mail, but you’ll be helping me get my next role. Actors in successful selling queer films get parts in other sucessful movies

AND REMEMBER, THE BANNER LINK IS ON THE RIGHT OF THE BLOG HERE ———–>

In the words of Miss CoCo Peru from another great queer classic Trick, “It’s big, it’s beautiful, and YOU’RE GONNA LOVE IT!”

It’s here! It’s here! Aren’t you excited?! Well, if you’re not, allow me to be excited enough for all of us! Because IT’S HERE!

Above is the official Chillerama trailer. Now, you can see why we’ve all been so proud of our little 30 minute “I Was A Teenage Werebear” short. It’s not really even technically a short at all: it’s part of an anthology film that pays homage to great horror films and director’s of yesteryear. We’ve been saying that for months now without any real imagery to illustrate what the hell it is we mean by this – and now – well, it’s here!

 If you’re in the Southern California area and you wanna see this film in it’s entirety (and me along with it) come to the premiere!

Just print out this poster (or you can save it on your mobile device and show it on entry):

Bring it with you when you attend the event.

 THE LA PREMIERE AT THE HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY- THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 15th!

The gates open at 6 PM and the movie will begin at sundown.

BRING AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU WANT!

I’ll be there getting grossed out with the rest of ‘em! See ya then!

There I was in my room at The Leows Hotel in Center City, Philadelphia – The City of Brotherly Love – ironing my blood red, double collared Zara button-up buck ass naked, watching Topher Grace on the TV in “Take Me Home Tonight” and practicing my acceptance speech for Qfest’s Rising Star Award. Yes, I was hammering out the wrinkles in my cotton, using an iron set to high steam mode just inches from my swinging, completely exposed most prized physical appendage.  Don’t be alarmed; I’ve done stupid things and regarded my dick with far more reckless abandon than wielding the hottest appliances within mere inches before. 

Hey, I was in a time crunch. Hence the multitasking theme of the evening. And yes, you’re right. I could’ve easily just put my tighty whities on and severely diminished the awful chances of burning my dick. Sometimes, you just wanna iron your clothes naked.

I think it’s no secret; I’m the defiant sort. I do what I want – even when I know it’s not the best decision for my person. 

It wasn’t until I slipped on my red striped socks, strapped on my new black dress shoes and stood up to recite the last bit of what I wanted to leave the audience with before the screening of “I Was A Teenage Werebear” that I realized it was best to break down then, in peace and privacy, instead of facial contorting sobs where an entire procession of people could witness. 

I find that if I let loose the emotions that are are welling up inside me on my own time, I can avoid doing it in front of people in a way that can be embarrassing. Embarrassing purely because sometimes when I get going, I don’t have much control over when I stop.  I don’t cry often at all. This is, if I had to theorize, probably why when I do begin to cry I cannot stop easily. So, as you might imagine, I do sit in my room alone, or even sit in my car alone, and just let it all flow.  I am a grown man. My father never taught me it was okay to be emotional – but he also never taught me it wasn’t. And I thank him for that.  I’ve been afforded the chance to decide for myself. Though somewhere within me I have my own hang ups about this – I realize my father’s nurture (or lackthereof) has counteracted some of my strange nature. 

So often it’s not one reason or anything in particular that set the tears streaming. It’s everything and nothing at all. 

But this particular time, tucking in my new red shirt into my underwear and buttoning my slacks, it was a line in my speech. One line. By the way, yes, when I wear slacks and button ups I have a habit of buttoning my shirts into my undergarments. The shirt stays in place better and I don’t have to keep fussing with it all night. Yes, you have my permission to use this little trick of mine for yourself. It can be our little secret. 

The line that kept choking me up? 

“If I can change MY stars, anyone can do it.” 

In so many words this was my point. Naturally, I intended it to be less obviously self-disparaging, but still the very point that was killing my heart softly. 

The support I’ve received from filmmakers and friends and much of queer cinema this last year has been more than a little overwhelming. At first I wanted to just think of it as a temporary fad. I didn’t want to believe that it was bankable, probable, fixture for me. And then when Erik Schute from TLA Releasing called me and asked me to come to Philadelphia for the first time in my life to accept an award for being the next up-and-comer to deserve recognition, I had to stop pretending. 

It’s easy to shrug off the compliments when they are coming from your director, writer, friends and the people who make the films with you. Why? Because they already see it within you and you know they see it because they choose you. It’s also easy to thank the fans with a smile and a nod when they graciously ply you with encouragement and comments outside of the realm of how great you get fucked on film. 

But when the third largest queer film festival in America, one of the most respected screening programs on the festival circuit, says you’ve got a real fucking chance at something you want – something you’ve been deathly afraid of admitting you want for too long because the moment you proclaim the truth you fear every chance and opportunity will leave without a trace – then you kinda, sorta gotta stop lying to yourself and everyone for the sake of some pathetic attempt at preserving what you think is dignity. 

Sometimes the world will only give you a hint, a glimmer of yes, and you’ve gotta just grab it. Take it for yourself. Because “yes’s” become “maybe’s” and then “no’s” too quickly. Chances aren’t open-ended. But most bottoms are.  Eew, did I just committ that to my gay porn blog?

This is not something I can do alone. I’ve always known that. Because of being well aware of such a fact, I’ve always been reluctant. When your fate is rooted too squarely in the hands of other people it’s petrifying.  

When enough people give you a chance and you can prove it’s within you to deliver: it’s emotional.
