My niece lives in Austin, TX so maybe she can be among the first to see Alan Cumming'[s latest directorial effort: "Suffering Man's Charity" which will make its world premiere opening night at the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Conference & Festival at the Paramount Theater in Austin which runs March 9 - 17.
"Suffering Man’s Charity," written by Thomas Gallagher, stars Cumming, David Boreanaz, Henry Thomas, and one-time lesbian Anne Heche. What interests me the most is that Boreanaz, the former star of "Angel" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and current star of FOX's "Bones," plays a gay man in the film. He is one of the most handsome men in all of television and his track record for hit shows is quite impressive.
Here is the plot: John Vandermark (CUMMING) has taken in a struggling writer, Sebastian St. Germain (BOREANAZ) who overstays his welcome. When John discovers that Sebastian has simply been using him, he turns the tables on his young tenant in an effort to make him work off his rent debt. When Sebastian dies accidentally in the process, John tries to make it up to him by helping him get his book published posthumously. When the book is published, John can't help but take credit for the work of genius and Sebastian comes back to haunt him.
Sounds veeeeery interesting.
