Producers of the upcoming film Where
We Belong on Wednesday released a clip from the movie.
The movie stars Frankie Valenti, known
in the gay adult film industry as Johnny Hazzard.
In the film, Valenti plays a gay man
who is attempting to reconnect with his gay brother following the
death of their homophobic father. The older brother (played by Mark
Strano, also the movie's co-writer) has taken care of the father
while he was sick.
Director-producer Wade Gasque said he's
always been intrigued by the subject of gay siblings.
“I have a handful of gay sibling
friends and I've always been fascinated by their stories but I've
never seen a movie about them,” Gasque said. “What was it like
growing up together? Does it make the experience less isolating?
How do you disappoint mom and dad, twice?”
This is not Valenti's first stab at
acting in a non-adult role. He played a minor role in The Lair,
cabler Here!'s gay-themed vampire series.
“This is my chance to showcase what
I've got,” Valenti said. “I want to be that guy who crosses
over.”
On directing Valenti, Gasque told On
Top Magazine, “There's a rawness to Frankie. He's not afraid
to take risks and it pays off in his performance.”
Gasque released the one-and-a-half
minute clip from the film as part of a
Kickstarter campaign to raise $6,000 in six days to finance the
completion of the film.
