Your Heart Is Homeless (2019)
James (Peter McPherson) saw a handsome man (James Buttling) at a bar as he drank. After flirting in the men’s room, they meet and go to his apartment. James reveals that he already knows him because he is servicing his car. After an exciting night, Carl attacks James in the morning…
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT:
When I wrote ‘Your Heart is Homeless’ I wanted to tell the story of the many people who lead a double, struggling to come to terms with their sexuality. Coming out is hard for anyone and not everyone does, some lead a double life and have secret meetings whenever they can. I also wanted to explore “gay panic” which is rarely in the news, but gay men often talk about scary encounters they have.
While this story is fictional, it is based on my own experiences and encounters over the years and will hopefully be relatable to other gay men who have had similar encounters.
