SURF’S UP! CHILLERAMA’S
I WAS A TEENAGE WEREBEAR
TO PREMIERE AT HAWAII’S RAINBOW FILM FESTIVAL
MAY 13

Chatsworth, CA – It was announced today that I Was A Teenage Wearbear, one of four horror- comedy films that comprise the upcoming anthology, Chillerama, will make its World Premiere in Honolulu, Hawaii at the Rainbow Film Festival on May 13th. An homage to the drive-in movies of the 50’s and 60’s, Chillerama is a horror anthology featuring vignettes from some of contemporary horror’s biggest filmmakers. Joining director Tim Sullivan are fellow filmmakers Adam Rifkin (Detroit Rock City), Adam Green (Hatchet) and Joe Lynch (Wrong Turn 2). An autumn theatrical release of the anthology is anticipated.

“It’s great that my film is receiving its World Premiere in paradise,” enthused writer/director Tim Sullivan. “The finale of the film, of course, takes place on the beach, so what better place than the Hawaiian Rainbow Film Festival as a kick off?”

The Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival!

A funny, subversive spoof of the Eisenhower/Kennedy-era beach movies, I Was A Teenage Werebear follows a day in the life of closeted new kid Ricky O’Reilly (played by Sean Paul Lockhart, aka adult film superstar Brent Corrigan) who falls for Malibu High’s mysterious bad boy Talon (Anton Troy). When aroused, the two transform into bestial leather daddies, the titular “Werebears.” The film features five rock ‘n roll musical numbers in a stylistic mash-up of genre icons Roger Corman and John Waters that spins the frothy boy/girl/beach format into a humorously bloody, albeit well-intentioned, call for acceptance and tolerance.

Describing his contribution to Chillerama’s quartet, I Was A Teenage Werebear writer/director Tim Sullivan explained, “Each one of us is doing homage to a different genre and style. I choose the surf musicals of the 60’s crossed with Lost Boys and Twilight. As a gay man, I’ve always been drawn to the queer subtext in films depicting teenage angst, whether it be James Dean’s relationship to Sal Mineo in Rebel Without a Cause or Zac Efron’s emotional tug of war between sports and theater in High School Musical. With our fight for equality reaching a fever pitch, I felt it was time to fully embrace the gay undertones that peppered my previous films (2001 Maniacs, Field of Screams and Driftwood), and this time bring them front and center.”

Following the Hawaiian premiere, I Was A Teenage Werebear will be featured, among others pending scheduling, at the Boston LGBT Festival, Outtakes in Auckland and Wellington, New Zealand, the Denver Film Festival, Philadelphia’s Q Fest, Frameline 35, the San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival, Q Cinema, Fort Worth’s Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival and Italy’s Fantasy Horror Awards where Sullivan will also be a presenter.

It was just one of those days. You know the ones I’m talking about?

Allow me to elaborate

I woke up about 10 AM. Downed a protein shake, hoovered a bowl of honey nut cheerios and washed my hair in the shower. I slipped on my riding breeches, cinched myself into my boots & half chaps and headed out the door for my horseback riding lesson. I’ve been riding about 2 times a week; some weeks four times depending on when my next show is. It’s a 45 minute drive to Vista where I ride. Though it’s kind of a trek – and gas prices climb every day – I know I made the right choice for my stable to train at. I have a great trainer who’s the best communicator I’ve ever worked with. Not only that, but he’s got a great sense of humor and he makes me laugh out loud. There have been few people in my life ever I can say that about. I take my riding very seriously but he keeps me grounded. I know eventually I could be one of the greatest jumpers alive but there’s no rush and he keeps me from pressuring myself. It’s the perfect way to unwind while mastering something new.

I’ve been riding an older “once great” show jumper. He’s over at the knee, which makes his legs and knees look very unsteady and it gives him the appearance that he’s long past his prime – and even longer past his point of retirement (he’s 26 years old, horses live to be about 30!). He’s a teacher in so many ways. Not only is he old but he’s still doing what he loves; AND he’s still a viable contender in the amateur show circuit. It’s interesting the kinds of philosophies one can derive from an old Thoroughbred. While he doesn’t look like much from the ground, under saddle he’s fantastic. He can be hard to get moving, but once we’re out on the course and jumping he’s just stellar! He flies around the arena and at those moments, when we’re working together as a team, communicating and sharing a journey around the ring, he’s clearly doing the very thing he’s always loved to do – and still does.

Today was an overcast day. I don’t mind a few overcast days here and there. I grew up in Seattle and for the entire duration of my childhood I didn’t see anything wrong with the way the weather was there in the Pacific Northwest. Then I moved to San Diego and realized it truly does get better. The thing about overcast days and horses is . . . well, it’s simple: horses love cloudy weather. It’s as if the electricity in the sky and in the air all around travels right through them. It energizes them. They’re happier, faster and more spirited. I love a spirited horse! I don’t have any problem getting on one that’s a little more than what I can handle. I’d rather be challenged than not. Which is why the old gray I’ve been riding has been a test of my patience. I digress, everything does happen for a reason.

I had a thoroughly successful training session today! As I finished jumping my course, the last one I would ride for the day, both my horse (His name is Slow Dancer) and I could feel the pulse of success surge through us. The old boy got so excited he shot off toward the next available jump; though we were clearly done. He took me completely for surprise. Instead of pulling him back I went with him. It must’ve been a spectacle because all of a sudden a roar of laughter erupted from the group of girls watching me ride. I guess my horse’s enthusiasm made for a fantastic show! It was one of the biggest thrills a guy could ever encounter!  Doing what I love, doing it well, and then connecting with an animal I want nothing more than to love and be loved by - it’s a feeling of elation and satisfaction that cannot be adequately explained in words.

As I left the stable the clouds parted and the sun came out. I opened the sun roof in my car and let the radio play some of my favorite tunes for the drive.  This afternoon I met a friend for a movie (we saw Rio in 3D). I laughed almost through the entire film. I love birds. It’s a movie about parrots.

Coming home all I could think about was how simple and enjoyable life for me is right now. Sure, if I wanted more I could have it.  Right now I seem to have just the right amount of everything. There are some parts of me that aren’t being stimulated but it doesn’t seem to matter as much. Sex, for instance, is not an element in my life right now. And I’m actually really cool with that. Romance? I have a lover and we write letters to one another. Career? I’ve got two mainstream films doing the festivals that are going to get me out into all kinds of cities to meet people and have new experiences! I’ve got a great group of friends I can count on. This is something I can say truthfully for the first time in a long time. I’m not too stressed about finances.  I have my health and my looks.  Though admittedly my reflection is a far cry different from the day I decided I wanted to use it as my money maker. Who cares? I get to spend time outside under the beautiful sun and clouds riding horses a few times a week! I’ve got goals with the voice classes I’ve been taking. I’m making great progress in so many areas of my life. Everything just feels balanced and uncomplicated. Maybe I could use a bit more balance. But I’m cool with that, too.

I think the key to finding happiness lies in accepting where you are in life and what’s working well for you at the time. Life is ever changing. If it’s not this then it’s that. I figured out for myself long ago that I can’t let my misfortunes or failures dictate my feelings. Best advice coming from the happiest of places: roll with them and find little ways to derive pleasure even when everything else seems bleak.

Afterall, it’s the simple things like a cloudy sky turning blue, an old horse, or a silly little 3D movie that can do wonders for my mood! What about yours?

Right about now is when all of the festivals finalize their selections for their film line-up. While we’ve known for a long time which festivals want to screen Judas Kiss (it’s overwhelming how many!); it’s been a matter of time & scheduling the film for it’s screening time slot before we can bring you the news of when it will be within your grasp.

One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is to not only be part of a film like this – but to know people who know films want to show it to others. Basically, all I’m saying is . . . it’s nice to know so many of the festivals, gay & lesbian or just indie in general, want to showcase Judas Kiss the Movie!

On the fly, I wanted to make sure anyone in the south Florida area was aware Judas Kiss will be screening in Miami THIS COMING FRIDAY: April 22, 9:00pm – 11:00pm at Regal Movie Theater South Beach.

THE MIAMI SCREENING

While you’re there please, please, please “like” The Judas Kiss Fan Page. Liking something in today’s day & age can do worlds to support and fortify it. Even if you can’t get out to the screenings this can be just as valuable! Tell your friends about how excited about the film and how you’d like to see it when it comes close to your town. You never know, you may be able to find some like-minded Brent Fans that would love to caravan/carpool it to the nearest screening!

There are tons of great screen grabs and information at the Fan Page for you to savor and digest. Sometimes I can be a little slow getting news out about things. By keeping an eye on the Fan Page and The Judas Kiss Website you don’t have to wait for me!

As for the festivals I will be explicitely attending, keep an eye on the blog here. I will be at Frameline in San Francisco (I have two mainstream films screening there two days in a row). And I’ll be likely in Seattle for the screening there. I’ll be in San Diego as well as Outfest in Los Angeles. I haven’t made any further travel plans for festivals but that doesn’t mean I won’t be going to others!

Whether or not I am in attendance I implore you to take your first chance to see Judas Kiss! You’ll love everything about it; I know you’ll also be so proud me. But don’t get confused! I’m credited as Sean Paul Lockhart and not Brent Corrigan. See you out there summer!

There’s something rewardingly sadistic when you’re reminded you’ve got enough traffic power behind you to topple your fellow porn bloggers Well, their hosting, anyway . . . Last night I tweeted links to The Gay Porn Times (Yes, Hard News. HARD NEWS! I get so excited just writing that!) from my little Meet & Greet at Mickey’s for Cocktails with the Stars. It was Saint Patrick’s Day. Anyway, true to Brent Corrigan form and follower, all I had to do was mention I was in the buff (standing next one buff & studly Billy Heights!) in the pictures there and followers flocked. I also told commenter’s I’d kiss them.

Hey, I’m Irish like that. If you’d like to see the pictures, head on over to Gay Porn Times (HARD NEWS!) and check them out yourself. They were such a hit JC added another round:

Article Two

I can’t remember the last time I had so much fun at a little Meet & Greet like this one.  As time passes I collect more of these under my belt, but do fewer now than ever before.  I’ve created a condition where I pressure myself too much.  This time, at Cocktails, I just let loose (eventually, anyway) and decided I wasn’t going to concern myself with breaking down the porn stereoptypes. In short, I wasn’t trying too hard to prove I’m not just another gay porn star. You are what you will. Besides, it’s more than just a little nuts trying to prove you’re not just a porn star at a porn star event where people take their clothes off and cover their genitals with fuzzy green tophats! Confused? Go see those pictures and you’ll get it.

I do have one confession to make. There are a few reasons for why I do fewer and fewer appearances. One of them is a developing condition that I haven’t really been able to explain until recently. It’s strange that such a thing should happen to me because – frankly, who am I kidding? I love being on stage and I love people watching me. I think that’s a product of growing up in a house with 4 kids and 2 parents that were rarely around (very little doting and attention for lil’ Sean). Admittedly, also it’s just part of my personality. I love to show. I love to be a good show. The point I’m working toward here is – while being on stage is attractive to me, being in a crowd has become scary.  I haven’t been formally diagnosed, but I’d cop it up to a mild form of agoraphobia. It’s not crippling by any means; but these sorts of things do tend to manifest stronger as time passes. Who knows. Maybe I just have less patience than I should. When I arrive at events, or I go out to clubs and bars, street fairs – anything of the like, it takes me a good 30-60 minutes to acclimate. Within that time period I’m very standoffish. I don’t really want to try and carry out a conversation with anyone but those I know best and are most comfortable with.  I need to breathe. I need to focus on relaxing. I need to familiarize myself with the people in the room, where the exits are, and where I can stand if things get to be too much.  For me, it’s best to arrive at an event like this earlier on so as people arrive and the venue fills, I can take it all on little by little. Sometimes if I know it’s going to be nuts right away upon arrival I’ll take a Xanax before arriving (prescribed!) or just have a few shots. I prefer to be on-point and sharp of mind when I’m on the mic or talking with people I am meeting for the first time. However, it’s more important that I’m calm and moderately sedated than have me run screaming from a bar with my arms flailing above my head and people wondering what kind of drugs I’ve overdosed on. Because, let’s face it, when a porn star acts crazy people almost always automatically jump to those kinds of conclusions.

For Cocktails, I arrived and practically freaked.  At first I probably appeared very troubled, annoyed, or anxious. It was purely a product of me struggling to get a grip on myself. Within 20 minutes I was able to say hello to everyone and I was able to be “on” the way people expected me to be.

So, enjoy the pictures of “The Body” (Gotta go to HARD NEWS to see ‘em!) and I hope getting a little peek into “The Mind” was just as enlightening for you
