About
The first ever collection of interviews with gay and lesbian filmmakers. Discussing their medium in the post-Brokeback Mountain film landscape, world famous gay and lesbian directors and screenwriters talk about the Hollywood closet, studio homophobia and the development of a politicized queer film aesthetic. Interviewees include Pedro Almodovar (Volver), John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting).
