Is it porn or is it art? It’s both, in this entertaining and hot shorts program. Dirty Baby Does Fire Island tells of a naive but very expressive baby doll who washes onto the shores of Fire Island and discovers drugs and sex. Going Down is hotter and more realistic than anything you have on your video shelf, and in Better Than Joe, a man has sex with a doll in the shower. Pansexual Public Porn is a pornographic FTM home video filmed live in a British gay cruising site, while Andy may be the ultimate gay male film: a man jacking off in his living room as his voiceover describes his decorating scheme.

Cassy is a cassanova and the new hot director of the Indie World.

So you want to make a movie? The impressive multi-tasking director/producer/writer/actor team behind Outtakes did just that in both real and reel life. See the world of filmmaking through the eyes of Cassy, a hot 22-year-old indie director who already has four feature films under her belt. Gathering the crew to shoot her fifth feature, Cassy is intrigued by Lauren, an experienced theater director who knows more about Shakespeare than Speilberg. Although the two are an unlikely match, Cassy hires Lauren as her Assistant Director. As they begin a comical search for their cast, the straight-laced and responsible new A.D. is shocked by the horrible screenplay and the director's inflated ego, but even more surprised by the promiscuous lesbian lifestyle Cassy leads. In the midst of fruitless casting calls, diva actors and frustrating rehearsals, the untamable Cassy finds herself falling in love with Lauren, much to the dismay of Lauren's live-in boyfriend. The drama intensifies when the plug is pulled on the overly confident director, and she is forced to reexamine herself and write a usable screenplay in a matter of days. As the creative director and the grounded A.D. start to find their balance, both the screenplay and the budding romance begin to show some exciting potential.

Eight media scholars discuss the developments in and constraints upon gay representations on television.

Off The Straight And Narrow: Lesbians, Gay Men And Bisexuals On Television takes a fascinating look at "how gays, lesbians, and bi-sexuals have been written into the straight television world, and how gay audiences have made room for themselves within it." A diverse group of media scholars analyze three decades of news coverage, sitcoms, made-for-TV dramas, talk shows, music videos, cartoons, sports, and even commercials. Among the many memorable milestones in this sophisticated survey are the impact of Rock Hudson’s 1985 death, Andrew Cunanan’s murder of Gianni Versace, Ellen’s coming out, and how depictions of lesbians, bisexuals, and queers of color are positioned in mainstream media.
