Love isn't just for the young.
Our society is often alarmingly ageist, and the LGBT community even more so. But Danny DeVito's latest short film, Curmudgeons, hopes to dispel some of the myths surrounding love, age and sexuality.
The film was directed by DeVito, and played at the Tribeca Film Festival, introducing audiences to two grumpy old gay men, who just happen to be head-over-heels in love.
It's hilarious, heartbreaking and only 15 minutes long, so give it a look and let us know what you think!

Elliot Tuttle's debut feature Blue Film tells the story of a camboy and a disgraced former teacher that challenges hubris, conjures horrors, and casually hijacks one's attention to keep up with the intense unfurling of a drama that moves like a thriller.
Starring Kieron Moore as Aaron Eagle and Reed Birney as Hank Grant, Blue Film is set over an increasingly suffocating night in a Los Angeles Airbnb. The movie has already received all sorts of responses from audiences and critics alike since it premiered at the Edinburgh International Film Festival — a polarized reaction that Tuttle was not only prepared for, but was actually curious about.

        Hallmark; Lifetime

        Lifetime
    
The holiday season is just around the corner, which means hot cocoa, plenty of flannel, and curling up with a fuzzy blanket to watch a cute Christmas movie. 
The problem is the lack of lesbian representation in holiday movies. Sure, we got Happiest Season, and smaller films like Friends & Family Christmas, It’s a Wonderful Knife, and A Holiday I Do, but sapphic Christmas movies are still few and far between.
