Straightman [10th Anniversary Edition]

In this earnest coming-out-of-the-closet drama, David (Ben Berkowitz) and Jack (Ben Redgrave) are buddies whose relationship gingerly evolves into something more intimate. David is a womanizing slob who runs a Chicago comedy club, while his roommate, Jack, a beefy construction worker, grows bored with his female companion. This film, which was written and directed by its starring actors, was screened at the 2000 L.A. Independent Film Festival.
