  • Finally - an upload of my 2000 gay short film, "Birthday Time," about a closeted teenage boy who is determined to get his first gay kiss by his 18th birthday... which is just a few days away. Be sure to watch the credits as well for a wayyy pre-Marvel stinger!
    The short played over 40 film festivals, aired on Sundance Channel for a couple of years, and was released on the DVD "Two Brothers And Two Others" by TLA. The rights reverted back to me some years ago, and the DVD is long out of print, so enjoy this pre-HD, relatively low-fi video (shot on miniDV tape) coming-of-age comedy. Thanks again to John and Frank Navin of The Aluminum Group for the songs, and every member of the cast, crew, and locations (mostly in Park Slope, Brooklyn) who slaved away on this and helped out.

    The boy is at the same time "tragic" and so funny, he is adorable. Yet the other guy seems more and more torn between acting as a father and being a lover. A very nice and refreshing story. Thank you for posting it. I am in Europe and wish a new DVD could be released again. The young actor is very talented. Him being gay or not doesn't matter, since there is no need to be gay to play a gay part.

      Claude You are a very perceptive guy. I really love how observant & detailed you are. Where at in Europe? I live in NY state US & have visited several countries over there but haven't been to Europe since 2001 when I was in Portugal. I feel like it's about time that I revisit this winter. I am probably going to fly to Paris & then branch out from there :) I hope so!

      I am 23 and never kissed anyone, never had any relationship or done stuffs. When I turned 19, I found out about myself. I had a major crush on my college classmate. The sad part is that we weren't even friends, and I could never dare to speak up. I couldn't just assume her sexuality. Man I had a major crush on her for 3 effing years and she was the first person I liked romantically. I guess this is why I am single bcz I am hesitant to make a move.

    "Unnecessary Tangent" time:, Okay, here goes: The term "When It Rains It Pours" Is used by the table salt company, to assure consumers that their salt containers, are tightly sealed and secure, that even if you left it out in the rain, it won't get damaged by water and would still pour. Hence, when it rains it pours. Everybody misuses that term to mean that, when it rains, it really pours, as in drenching downpour.

    Those OS/2 Warp, Netscape, and CompuServe books were all years out of date by 2000.

      I am pretty sure they were found discarded on a nearby stoop.

    Topher: I'm not going anywhere till I get my goddamn kiss or I am twirling my ass back to flapjax with no underwear on.
    Me: *proceeds to lose my water and my salad*
    I get it- First kisses are a huge impact moment for some. But I gotta give Scott's dad some credit- he is trying so hard to be as respectful as possible, while also parting some wisdom on our young gentleman. I'm sure we all remember when we were at that stage in our lives, when the rainbow seemed so bright and curious and not filled with complicated matters...where our biggest worry was a first kiss.

      I made a comment earlier about this kissing thing. I don't think I will be running around kissing people on my birthday.

      @@bigmakkun3766 perhaps not. But, I have seen many a teen in my day who had these thoughts and wanted desperately to have a first kiss before finishing up high school,, though maybe not to the extreme he stated (It was definitely humor). In the end, the portrayal shows how different things can be from a simple kiss to understanding the gravity of companionship.

      @@excelsiormalik Thanks for your explanation. When the kiss will happen, it will happen. My time will come. I don't contemplate it, though. 💪😁💪
