Reeling: Mulligans
The Davidson family, summering at their lakeside home in the quaint cottage town of Prospect Lake, seems picture perfect in every way. But when Tyler Davidson brings home his college buddy Chase (Charlie David, Kiss the Bride) for the summer, a secret is revealed that threatens to tear his family apart. Not only does Chase try to hide that he is gay, but he has the challenge of controlling his attraction to Tyler’s handsome father Nathan. But Chase isn’t the only one struggling to resist his feelings in this stirring romance about grasping for second chances.

Reeling: Changing Spots
Molly Brite may be a washed up, martini-soaked former child star, but things are finally looking up. Peg, her ex-rocker partner of five years, is pregnant, and the director of a high profile film wants her for his star. But just when she thinks her days of auditioning for taco ads and wearing chicken suits are over, her personal and professional worlds begin to simultaneously unravel and the actress must confront the past. Lane West is both heartbreaking and hilarious as Molly, and the chemistry between her and co-star Danielle Egnew as Peg is spot-on, particularly in some steamy bedroom (and bathroom!) scenes.

Reeling: Watercolors
Winner of the audience award at Outfest, this debut feature by writer/director David Oliveras is the tale of two star-crossed lovers. Sensitive and artistic, Danny is an outcast, more accustomed to perusing guys in magazines than in real life. But when Carter, the hunkiest swimmer in school, ends up bunking with him one weekend, an unexpected romance unleashes both positive and negative consequences for both. Oliveras gives the actors (including Golden Globe winner Karen Black) plenty to work with in his well-rounded script that plays like a first love story anyone can identify with.

Reeling: Sugar Rush
If you miss My So-Called Life, but not the angst, Sugar Rush is the show for you! The first series (episodes 1-3) of this groundbreaking British TV show follows the bumpy adolescent life of Kim, a lesbian teenager adjusting to her family’s move to Brighton. Desperately in love with her straight best friend, Sugar, Kim tries to navigate through sexual self-discovery, while dealing with her unhinged family. This sardonic and sweet series succeeds not only through the well-developed plot, but the portrayals of the young leads, as well. Olivia Hallinan’s Kim is relatable and wry, while Lenora Crichlow’s portrayal of Sugar will turn you on and break your heart. Sugar Rush is surely an invigorating ride.
