This year SPECTRUM will be a virtual event, with great LGBTQ films to screen in your home.
STRAIGHT UP will be available to stream online for all 3 days of the festival, at the time of your choice, but please do not start the film until you are ready to watch the whole thing, as we have only a limited number of streams available.
Todd is a hyper-articulate, obsessive compulsive gay twentysomething whose fear of dying alone leads him to a baffling conclusion: he might not be gay after all. When he meets Rory, a whip-smart struggling actress with her own set of insecurities, the two forge a relationship that’s all talk and no sex. Writer-Director-Star James Sweeney delivers a razor sharp rom-com that’s equal parts Classical Hollywood and distinctly 21st century, exploring just how elastic our definitions of love and sexuality can get.
“Sweeney and Findlay, who’s a real find, are head-spinningly good here, juggling their torrents of dialogue with aplomb.” – Los Angeles Times
“Explores star-crossed lovers from every angle of the Kinsey scale” – The Wrap
