In Preparation of the August 14th DVD Release of AUGUST:
Directed by Eldar Rappaport and starring Murray Bartlett, Daniel Dugan, and Adrian Gonzalez.
I interviewed Rappaport and Bartlett last summer while the film was being shown as SIFF 2011's GAY-LA:
The PLOT:
AUGUST is a journey that touches on a familiar note for many: "What if he comes back?" Over one smoldering Los Angeles summer, emotions run high when the blossoming relationship of two happily partnered men, Jonathan and Raul, is tested. August video Jonathan receives a message that his former lover Troy is back in town, after years in Barcelona. A seemingly innocent rendezvous with Troy disrupts Jonathan and Raul's life together and revives a long buried desire and intense longing. This blast from the past becomes a passionate affair, and what develops is a tangled web of riveting choices these three men have to make for love. Remaining tender and intricate, and told from multiple perspectives, AUGUST poignantly explores the complexities of love and intimacy in the modern world, and eloquently shows us that matters of the heart are never black and white.
