Buffering (2011) , UK

 From the makers of Shank comes this fabulously quirky British comedy following a young gay couple who find one hell of a unique way to get themselves out their mounting debt problems – internet porn! Seb and Aaron are sick of trying hard to make ends meet so they decide to get creative and take matters into their own hands, by turning their bedroom into a porn studio and selling their wares online to sex-hungry consumers. As their ‘performances’ become ever more popular the physical, emotional and industry demands start to take a toll on their relationship and it doesn’t help that the barely-clothed boy-next-door keeps causing a serious distraction! A deliciously light-hearted take on the consequences of unexpected sexual escapades, this is one sexy romp.

Just Say Love (2009) , USA

Physical attractions appear to be the obvious explanation for two people to become a pair. But are they really the reflection of something sublime, everlasting or dare we say, spiritual? Do relationships start in the bedroom or in the heart? In this male love story, the bliss described by Joseph Campbell and sages throughout the millennia is a practical option for finding happiness. As the camera delves into the character's minds and actions we find fulfillment on both a physical and spiritual level.

Role/Play (2010) , USA

Steve Callahan and Matthew Montgomery, who are married in real-life, star in this hot new film from gay director/writer Rob Williams. Two young gay men, both on the run from the tabloid press, meet in a Palm Springs resort in Rob Williams' new film Role/Play. When hunky soap opera star Graham Windsor (Steve Callahan) is outed as the result of a gay sex tape scandal, he seeks refuge at an exclusive Palm Springs resort. But quiet anonymity eludes him when handsome marriage-equality activist Trey Reed (Matthew Montgomery) checks in to escape the fallout from his own bitter divorce. As an undeniable passion begins to sizzle between Graham and Trey, they force each other to confront their professional downfalls – and the firestorm each has created in the gay press. Lushly photographed at an actual Palm Springs resort, the film also stars David Pevsner (Adam & Steve) as Alex, the long-suffering innkeeper; Brian Nolan as Ricky, a young man with a past of his own; and Jim J. Bullock as Graham’s frustrated agent, Bernie.
