Jimmy is a spoof on films along the lines of “Reefer Madness” which feature antiquated and extreme bias, ignorance and opposition towards what in modern days has been met with acceptance and understanding. In this case, homosexuality. My intention was to lampoon ignorant sexism and bigotry, rather than mock the gay community. For the most part, the intention was accepted. JHTBT has played at numerous film festivals and LGBT events; I’m told often with extreme enthusiasm. I’m wary of misconception on intention, though, and welcome comments and feedback. I do NOT mean to offend and will check commentary often, and if need be, remove this short film from online exposure. NOTE: The character of Jimmy was created for the educational program “Tell Me Something I Don’t Know”. Mark Lee (Jimmy) and I had such fun with that concept that we were compelled to make another.
Stars: Mark Lee, Thomas Phelps, Tom Peru, Langdon Foss, Greg kleinert, Beth Clements
