Amor Juan
Coming up in our last part of a peek at the Frameline 33 festival 'Amor Crudo' Raw Love a short film ,which explores the friendship between two friends and its a David Hockney painting come to life in the feature lenght film 'Water Colours'.
Amor Crudo / Raw Love is about according to the official synopsis ..
'Two friends spend the last days of high school together, but this will inevitably come to an end. 'Raw Love' is a beautiful and sincere story of mixed emotions and secrets that one dare not speak aloud.'
Or via a Google translation Diego Sticker a production assistant on the film sums up the story as ....
'An account of those years where pubescent football, friends, feelings and confused the last days of school were hybridized, I join you and make you life now separates them.'
Or from a Spanish Newspaper, translation via google ....
' A portrait of the pubescent years, of fever overwhelmed and confused feelings. Two friends who spend the entire time together, playing hands during the day, touching and at night. But are the last days of school and while they do not want, something is being finalized.'
Well that certainly seems a lot to pack into 16 minutes , looking lovely in the top picture above and with a cascading mop is Juan Felipe Villanueva who plays Iván . Water Sport lovers will be pleased to know that Juan plays Water polo . Sadly the new Blogger Anti Speedo Task Force have decreed that Juan may not be shown in his Water polo speedos .We are allowed to post two more pictures of Juan fully clothed though . Disappointing I know but these are the times we Blog in .
Juan plays Water polo.
Taking of Water sports , our last film Water Colours is actually sponsored I think by Speedo. How cool is that ! and also stars the legendary Greg Louganis as Coach Brown and in my eyes the equally legendary Karen Black and lets not forget the two leads at the centre of the film Kyle Clare as the Lycra loving Carter and Tye Olson as a David Hockney fixated young artist , whose dream is to paint Carter in or out of his speedos and judging by the still pictures and the trailer he totally succeeds and ends up scoring an exhibition at Los Angles County Museum of Art .
Arriving for practice , its skater swimmer Carter !
Attention! Cater is greeted by his Two Team mates Chad and Conner
Meanwhile stuck at the back of the lovely Swim Teams latest 'photo op' The Lovely long locked Carter wondered ''I just wished I could have been photographed in my Speedo too , I guess I just don't understand this new 'Blogger Anti Speedo Task Force' at all.''
''So I checked in with Dreamboats and they said the 'Anti Speedo Rule' only applies if your the lead actor in a film and wear a Speedo . So I'm asking you now as friend and maybe would be lover ,will you paint me with no Speedos on ?''
'' You mean just in in your Boxers right man ? ''
'' No dude , paint me just as Bruce Weber intended ''
''Sure thing , if I can take a dip with you first ''
Later than night , as brush touched a virgin canvas Carter did indeed pose as Bruce Weber intended ...
And the banter flowed easily between the two friends ...
''Have you done this sort of thing before?''
''No its my first time ''
'' You look like a Caravaggio painting in that light ''
''Thanks Bro''
The next Day , Miss Black The Art Teacher gave her thoughts on the Painting ...
''Yes its like the very essence of Caravaggio crossed with the modern brush of a Hockney is laid bare before me ...a... a ... masterpiece !''
''You Rock Miss Black and ! and so does our Teaser Trailer !''
