I posted about this last week or the week before, but John Cameron Mitchell's new film, SHORTBUS, opens in Tucson at The Loft Cinema on Friday, October 27 (a week from tomorrow). I'm planning to go see it on Saturday the 28th with some friends. You should join us.

Besides (or perhaps in spite of) the titilating subject matter, I really just love Mitchell's aesthetic and his talent for telling a story, especially stories that nobody else has the balls to tell. His process, while borrowing from several influences, is totally unique and revolutionary. He workshopped the entire movie, including the sex, using amateur and professional actors. That sentence does not do the process justice. You really should click the link above and read up on the movie.

And then join us on October 28th at The Loft (as long as you're 18 or older, so sayeth The Loft).
