greetings, earthlings 🌎 DESIRE LINES, a hybrid, experimental documentary I acted/participated in, has been making the festival circuit over the past few months. The project is all about the inner lives of gay and queer trans men; it’s about sex, desirability, navigating attraction and heavily features Lou Sullivan and Chicago. Many wonderful subjects were interviewed over the course of several years in the making of this; the documentary is full of eye-opening personal stories. DESIRE LINES made its world premiere at Sundance 2024, taking home the Next Special Jury Award and has since been having screenings at more festivals than I can list. DESIRE LINES was created by @julesrosskamfilms and narrative parts written by @nategualtieri . Produced by @fullspectrumfeatures / @dr_aymar / @thejenniferreeder / @andre_adventures / @brittaniwardcasting / and co-starred @adenhakimi . Special thanks to @justmakingitallup for doing my hair and makeup for our Sundance Premiere, @vibrant.crowns for cutting my hair, my agents and manager, and @ianaiexander for being my festival buddy due to being too sick to go alone and helping support me during recovering from getting violently mugged a week before the festival.

omg, i think i’ve finally recovered from #Sundance2024 !! what a whirlwind of fun celebrating #DesireLines with @theogermaine 💕 thank you to @thegershagency & @kingofbingo, @thecreativecoalition, @sagindie, and @alokvmenon & @indiewire for having me at your lovely events 💕 and the highlight of my trip was reuniting with Zal after many years!!! #TheOA is forever. 🕊️ to all the brilliant indie creators i met at my first Sundance – i am so excited to collaborate with you and cheer on your other projects! 🥰 big congrats to the Desire Lines team for winning the NEXT category award at @sundanceorg ! @fullspectrumfeatures @julesrosskamfilms @adenhakimi Desire Lines was the first time i’d seen a film of transmasculine people candidly discussing their sexualities evolving after transitioning. i witnessed trans men talking about sex, kink, HIV, and more – not in my apartment, or at a party, but ON SCREEN ❤️ check out Desire Lines and send love their way! 🌹💐

SPARK – written and directed (a debut!) by @nicholass_rising and starring myself, @danelljleyva , @puertoricaninja , @iamchristinavilla , and @abigailachiri , will be having its world premiere at @insideoutfestival on May 24th – please come if you will be in Toronto. This was truly a labor of love. We shot this film in 13 days on a micro budget and boy, did I learn many, many things about film making, trust, and letting go of character judgement during this process. By the end, I felt like I was part of a small family that I cared for dearly. That, amidst the sheer exhaustion of doing a feature length film in 13 days. SPARK is about Aaron, a hopeless romantic, who finds himself reliving the same day after an awkward but intense encounter with the mysterious Trevor. His excitement at the opportunity for a do-over soon turns sour as Aaron suspects Trevor may be the cause of his time loop. Aaron’s relentless pursuit of love forces him to confront his own insecurities and the blurred boundaries between infatuation and self destruction. Groundhog Day meets Vertigo in this cyclical tale of cosmic fuckery, and Nicholas’s Giuricich’s first feature delves into the desire for connection and the heart allure of toxic relationships. Can Aaron break out of his cycle, or is he destined to live out his life, stuck in the same patterns? Learn more at: thefilmspark.com
