Playing it gay in Hollywood

He’s played every kind of role, from a terrified sailor clinging on for dear existence to the side of a 1940s warship in Pearl Harbour to a virgin who believes in extraterrestrials in The Apocalypse According to Doris.

But, of all the movies he’s starred in, Nicholas Downs is best-known as Blaine, the introverted columnist in director J C Calciano’s hit gay sentimental comedy Is It Just Me?

Is It Just Me? follows Blaine on his quest to combine with someone who, like him, is looking for more than just a quick hook-up. Frustrated by his lack of success, he takes to an online chat room where he stumbles upon Xander, a gentle and charming Texan played by David Loren. The two fall for each other and decide to encounter.

However, Blaine soon realises that the profile he has been chatting under belongs to his go-go dancer roommate. Rather than approach clean about the mistaken identity, Blaine manoeuvres himself into a situation that could well price him true love.

Blaine was Nicholas Downs’ first lead male lover role in a full-feature film.

“The disagree with the personality was finding the right balance between making him vulnerable enough and not too much of a sad sack. I

Dr. Olson counseled his friends for years before realizing that it was workable to make a living practicing psychiatry. Although he sought to maintain a low profile as a psychiatrist, his colleagues made him a Distinguished Experience Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the National Alliance for Mental Illness named him an Exemplary Psychiatrist, and he inexplicably received awards for his writing.

After developing bags under his eyes and skin that resembled bread mold, as well as blowing out his knee having sex, he began to explore the concept that aging might have some advantages denied him in his youth. He then chose to write more about being gay and gray to evade having to wash house and hold out the garbage.

Dr. Olson and his partner of thirty-five years raised Belted Galloway cattle on their farm in Iowa. To the consternation of neighboring farmers who reflection their cattle should be in a zoo rather than on a farm in Iowa, they also bought a Russian tractor. They raised the cattle on grass rather than feeding them the corn that is overproduced on neighboring farms with John Deere tractors and chemical fertilizers. To their neighbors' surprise, these two gay men from t

Loren: Let’s fetch into it. So the last time I saw you, we were performing together during Lgbtq+ fest Month in New York. And I don’t know if you remember this, but as you were introducing me on stage, you said that we grew up very similarly. And I’m not sure if many people knew what you meant, but of course we know what that is. We’re both old flame Mormons. 

David: My gosh… That’s so wild to still hear ex-Mormons.

Loren: I know. It sounds so negative.

David: I feel like it’s like a swear word.

Loren: Exactly. Yeah.Of course I grew up watching you as kind of the poster child for Mormonism and when you came out I reached out to you on Instagram and now we’re friends in real life and we have gone out to gay clubs. We’ve partied together. and I know for myself when I left the church I almost felt like I was playing catchup with my peers. Do you ever perceive like you’re making up for lost time and just taking it all in? 

David: My gosh… Yes.I almost feel I’m a kid, like a

How this LGBTQ Classic was Made in Just 12 Days

With a tiny crew, a low budget and 12 days to clip, JC Calciano directed his first film Is It Just Me?. Growing up, he had not seen many LGBTQ films that had a happy conclusion, so he wanted to write a positive society story. “I didn’t desire to make a feature that was about organism gay; I wanted to make a movie about gay men who descent in love,” said Calciano. The story follows a young man who is determined to find authentic love, yet doesn’t assume that he is worthy of it. When he matches with a too-good-to-be-true man online, he finds hope, but quickly realizes that he is using his roommate’s account. The story follows the journey of not only his path to falling in love with another dude, but also his track to loving himself.

As a first-time director/writer, Calciano faced a couple of challenges while filming. He struggled with his own insecurities of whether he could make the film. Till this day, he battles insecurities about the movies that he makes. However, he still creates films that he would personally want to see and hopes that the audience enjoys as well. Another challenge was having enough money to make the film. He and his two
