Jackson's father died when Jackson was very young, and Jackson's mother, who looks like Ethel Mermen playing Joan Crawford, performs bizarre rituals with her son so that neither of them will forget their perfect man. When Jackson starts dating Hardy, a hunky cop who loves his new boyfriend so much that he beats up anyone who stands in the couple's way, Jackson is forced to choose between staying a child and becoming a man.

Marking the 100th anniversary of the trial and imprisonment of Oscar Wilde for committing acts of “gross indecency,” Indecent Acts demonstrates how the same law is still used today in Great Britain to prosecute men for having consensual sex. Through reading Wilde’s texts, the incident of a century ago is compared to similar cases today. Two silhouetted men convicted of the crime in question, one a clergyman, the other a former member of the military, tell their stories.

The issue of sexual identity, gender, drug addiction, and AIDS are explored in this film as they directly touch our lives. I'll Be Your Mirror features David Armstrong, a photographer with whom I grew up and shared many of the most pivotal people and places in my life; Sharon Niesp, a R & B singer who was lovers with Cookie Mueller during the early years and later nursed her through her illness; Bruce Balboni, one of my oldest friends and a recovering junkie who is battling AIDS; and Gotscho, a body builder and sculptor from Paris who lost his lover Jules Dusein. Through all our experiences, my photography has served as a way to feel grounded in chaos, to pay homage to the beauty of my friends, and to keep the memory of the people I loved. More recently, these same pictures have become a chronicle of loss and have shown me how little photography can actually preserve. This film is a meditation on the medium of photography and nature of memory, as well as a document of one artist’s work. I'll Be Your Mirror also functions as the testimonial to the endurance of a community which is still being devastated by AIDS, but whose future continues to evolve.
