Outfest news: "East Side Story" added to roster!!!
I've seen "East Side Story" many times already but I am SO GLAD to learn that this wonderful movie written and directed by Carlos Portugal has been given a spot in Outfest 2007 next month.
This gem centers on a young and ambitious young guy, Diego, who helps his grandmother run the family restaurant while carrying on a clandestine relationship with a local realtor Pablo who is a big closet case.
Then new neighbors Wesley and Jonathan move in and the relationship between hunky Wesley and Diego is immediate and electric. This leads both men to re-examine their lives in this comedy-drama that takes on family dynamics, culture clashes, sexuality and gentrification in East L.A.
"East Side Story" will screen at the Showcase Theatre at noon on July 22. It is one of my top recommendations of the festival.
