Wolfe Nabs 2 Fest Faves
Wolfe Releasing announced today the acquisition of two popular hits from the summer LGBT film fest circuit. Both WERE THE WORLD MINE and THE NEW TWENTY will see release in 2009.
WERE THE WORLD MINE, directed by Tom Gustafson is an original musical about the life of a struggling high school teenager. Armed with a magical love-potion and empowered by dazzling musical fantasies in his head, he turns his narrow-minded town gay and makes them walk a heartbreaking mile in his musical shoes. The film has been wowing audiences at festivals across the US and around the world bringing filmgoers to their feet with standing ovations, while continuing to compile awards since it began its festival run at the 2008 Florida Film Festival where it took home the Audience Award for Best Film. Since then, the film has racked up 13 awards and countless critical accolades.
THE NEW TWENTY, directed by Chris Mason Johnson is about five best friends in their late 20s facing the disintegration of their tight knit urban tribe. Gay and straight, white and brown, driven and aimless, this disparate group lives and breathes New York City with a vivid emotional realism that captures the tenor of a new generation. (Winner of the Outfest 2009 Best Actress Award.)
