Filed Under Gay Entertainment, Gay Film 

This summer’s dark gay comedy feature film “Holding Trevor“, starring writer Brent Gorski, singer/songwriter Jay Brannan and directed by Rosser Goodman (Daddy-O, Life’s a Butch!, Wet Dress) will open this Friday, July 4, 2008 in NYC & LA.

Holding Trevor Opens July 4thAbout Holding Trevor:

Trevor Holden, (Brent Gorski) has just witnessed his boyfriend Darrell, (Christopher Wyllie) overdose on heroin–again. And as his oldest friend, Trevor feels a responsibility to help Darrell in his latest attempt at sobriety, much to the dismay of his own best friends Jake, (Jay Brannan) and Andie (Melissa Searing). But, when Darrell starts using again Trevor is finally ready to call it quits. And just when he does, he meets the ever so charming Ephram, (Eli Kranski).

Simply being everything that Darrell is not immediately wins Ephram a number of points. As Trevor’s relationship with Ephram quickly progresses, it starts to put a strain on his friendships with Jake and Andie. Jake, the self-proclaimed sex-addict, is starting to worry a little bit about his past catching up with him, namely in the form of HIV.

And Andie, who drunkenly ends her sexual dry spell with a one-night stand, realizes that Jake might have less to worry about than she does. Meanwhile, Ephram accepts a job thousands of miles away in New York City, and he wants Trevor to go with him. Now, what started out as Trevor’s own personal existential journey, turns into a path that will lead everyone to what is most important: themselves.

Holding Trevor is continually poignant, relentlessly self-deprecating and just the type of cerebral dark comedy that can speak directly to the twenty-something’s of today while letting other generations in on the joke.
