Longhorns

Directed by David Lewis2011USA74 mins

TEXAS. It's a world ruled by big hair, synth-pop and cowboy boots as Kevin, a straight frat-boy, enjoys finding creative ways to bond with his fellow schoolmates, usually with some 'straight' porn and an extra hand; it's all about helping a buddy out, right?

When he encounters Cesar, an openly gay student, Kevin’s heart starts to flutter for the young man, setting off a chain of events where his own sexual identity comes into question. When a weekend with Kevin's childhood buddies arrives, the heady mix of beers, straight porn and sexual frustration will lead to multiple bed-hopping and soon these 'longhorns' won't know what side of they fence they sit on!

San Francisco writer and director David Lewis (Rock Haven, Redwoods) returns to Frameline with a frisky sex comedy, submerged in original "Eighties" pop music by H.P. Mendoza (Fruit Fly) — who also edited and produced with Lewis Tice (BearCity) — and introduces audiences to a fresh young cast who gamely prove that things are definitely BIGGER in Texas!
