BREAK YOUR STRAIGHT is a new short film that is being put together by writer/producer Dustin Brooks, actor/producer Mark Leslie Ford, director Tyler Glodt and actress/producer Emma Caulfield.
Break Your Straight tackles the subject of a parallel world that is not heterosexual friendly in a dark but comedic way.
"B.Y.S follows our lead DAVID, as he attempts to navigate a dark and mysterious camp intended to change his sexuality. Set in a parallel universe where the sexual bias is in favor of homosexuals, heterosexual males find themselves facing tough decisions."
"In making Break Your Straight, we are faced with executing a narrative that could offend or turn people off. Though we as a group have come far in over coming our prejudice toward minority groups, or those deemed as “other”, we still face barriers when it comes to alternative sexual identity and whom we choose to love."
