Although I only viewed a few of these movies it soon became clear that several things were at work here. It’s a gay romantic comedy and there is a trailer on the website to view.Īctually there were trailers for all of their 121 listed movies and I checked out: Bangkok Love story, a tale of romance and adventure Boy Culture, a story of the confessions of an ex-escort based on the novel by Mathew Rettenmund and The Trip a title from 2002 that blends farce and tragedy. Craig Chester takes the lead as Adam and also directs the script that he wrote himself. Adam and Steve leapt from the page and made me realise that I’d actually heard of some TLA released movies without realising who’d released them. I checked through some other titles to see if there was anything there I’d heard of, or even seen… and realised that there was. Great, now I know that, I can get back to viewing some of the free trailers on the site. So, it acquires independent and good gay theme and international movies and distributes them that’s what it’s all about. Stopping off to find out a little more about this company that I did and yet didn’t know, I read the co.uk website and found that TLA Releasing is ‘the new leading voice in gay and international cinema.’ It was launched in 2001 in Philadelphia, and was established due to the overwhelming popularity of, an online retail site catering to film lovers of all tastes. Sexy, fun and sometimes downright nasty their titles are fresh and original and should appeal to everyone who likes a bit of naughtiness with their action, and some filth with their adventure. Of course, you can’t miss the sequel, Another Gay Sequel! Just looking at the press information for those three titles suggested to me that this is company that likes to play around on the edge and push envelopes, as they say.
Another Gay Movie combines eroticism with comedy and promises to give a new twist on high school, teen flicks that the more mainstream distributors put out.
Gutterballs, due out in 2009, is a gross-out movie that starts with a sadistic rape and works its way through a series of grisly murders. It’s set in a boy’s boarding school and describes itself as ‘Gossip Girl collides with Fatal Attraction’. Schoolboy Crush is a movie featuring some great looking Oriental guys. This should give you an idea of how diverse they are: I was checking out their press page where some of their movies were mentioned. But from the moment I saw their home page. I have to admit I’d never heard of TLA Releasing until I stumbled across them on the web by accident.
