Just wondering when this movie will be available on DVD, or for iTunes? Not of the screenings are anywhere close to where I live.

  We’re working to secure distribution. The eventual distributor gets to set the release dates.

Just viewed this film at Palm Springs’ Cinema Diverse. From the opening titles, you know you’re about to view something special. This film has one of the most amazing cinema scores I’ve heard in years. It’s worth the price of admission just to hear the music. The principal cast has perfect chemistry. The cinematography is stunning. And the story hits all of the right notes while avoiding most of the threadbare gay cliches. Indeed, there is such a sense of “reality,” it almost plays like a documentary. While there have been gay-themed films with Hollywood production values in the past (“In-and-Out,” “Broken Hearts Club”) produced by mainstream studios, I think this is the first Indie to really surpass that benchmark.

Where can I hear full version of the songs featured in the movie? The reason why I wanted to watch the movie was partly because of the song used in the trailer, which was a song from Regina Spektor, but I couldnt find the film version.
