Adam

ADAM is such a cute little film that it deserves to be seen outside the GLBT community even if it does tickle your rainbow fantasy.

I was fortunate enough to see the short film screen in Hollywood as part of a student film showcase. The story is common and has been done a million times, but there is still something unique that keeps the film from becoming a cliché.

Perhaps it's the perspective of a young man's journey of self-discovery through the social morass of modern times seeking refuge in a human condition not yet accepted. Maybe it's because student films are quaint and this is no exception.

The director's stylistic panache is exquisite yet queer. Kyle Burns will be one of the best directors to come out of West Hollywood. This is a great step forward for a gay director boldly taking on homosexual thematic fantasy.

Mr. Burns will soon ride his unicorn to an on-demand channel near you---chaps and all. Giddy up!

Review: 3 out of 3 stars
