The Art of Being Straight
Wed 8 Apr 09
Drama
John’s journey to find himself proves to be almost more than he can handle, yet he discovers that accepting the unknown also brings unlimited possibilities.
John thinks he’s got it all figured out. He’s young, good looking and has always had a way with the ladies. After a break-up with his girlfriend, he moves west to Los Angeles for a fresh start. He is officially back on the market.
Crashing on his buddy Andy’s couch is a comforting return to the college patterns of partying, womanizing and trash talk with the guys. However, reconnecting with his old flame Maddie proves to be surprising when she introduces him to her girlfriend, Anna.
An aspiring photographer, John takes an entry-level position at an ad agency, determined to succeed. Things get a little confusing when Paul, a thriving executive takes a special interest in John. When John ends up in Paul’s bed, his world is turned completely upside down.
Written and directed by Jesse Rosen, who also stars as John, The Art of Being Straight explores one man’s unexpected search for identity with both comic honesty and warm insight.
