The most fabulous gay short of 2009 headlines this new gay shorts collection! John Sobrack’s Boycrazy is a wonderful, colorful, romantic, musical-comedy about a fresh-faced gay guy searching for love — at the gym, the beach and in a singing chat room! This top-notch package also includes the gay emo sexting drama, Dish (it’s been called the “gay lose your virginity movie”) and the precursor to last year’s popular feature Were The World Mine, Tom Gustafson’s inspiring short film Fairies. Plus: The Backroom, a romance between two art lovers; Frequent Traveler, about a guy with a crush on an airport guard; and Teddy, a wistful story of a man trying to win back his ex.
