Diego (Jamil Mena) is a very handsome, muscular doorman to an apartment building. A college student named Garret (Stephen Sheffer) also lives there and hits on Diegoi. Diego resists at first but then falls in love. However events occur which shatter Diego’s love for Garret and leads to a disturbing but satisfactory conclusion.
Quick and no budget but very well done gay short. There’s very little dialogue–almost the entire story is conveyed by the actors looks and body language. Sheffer is OK but Mena is excellent. He has the lead and he has to go through every emotion silently. The conclusion is powerful and a little depressing but it IS a happy ending (in a way). Worth catching.
Great character development
by Gordon-11 – imdb
This film is about the encounter and the subsequent erotic tension between a hunky doorman and a college guy.
Though “Doorman” is short and low budget, it is quite stylishly shot. A memorable scene is when the doorman has internal struggle in his staff room, the close up shot produces a vertigo inducing effect which is powerful and suited to the scene’s atmosphere.
The character development is also done well. In the space of just 17 minutes, I have grown sympathetic of Diego, and I dislike Garrett. Diego is a convincing character, his fascination with Garrett, the subsequent confusion are portrayed well. The acting is great, the tension between the two characters are presented engagingly. I enjoyed this short film.
