Exclusive Interview: Fellow Travelers stars Noah J. Ricketts & Jelani Alladin "this miniseries is a revolution"

Ron Nyswaner’s exquisitely crafted work of queer historical fiction, Fellow Travelers, is a compelling and deeply moving epic miniseries that takes in the Lavender Scare of the 1950s and follows its repercussions in the lives of those directly affected through the following decades, taking in the post-Stonewall period of liberation in the 70s up to the devastation of the onset of HIV/AIDS in the…

“We’re trained to be like, ‘If I’m not exceptional, I won’t be loved.’ Certainly, I think that was my thing,” Gatwa shared. “So, yeah, I think I’m just learning now like, ‘Oh, you are allowed to be loved.’ You don’t have to be excellent or aspire to that term, ‘Black excellence’. What the hell?”

He continued, “There’s so much white mediocrity that gets celebrated, and Black people, we have to be absolutely flawless to get half of [that] anyway. So, I’m slowly training myself out of that and being like, ‘No shit. You deserve love just for existing.’ And that has taught me to be a lot more loving as well, in a weird way.”

Bartylus actor AU except they’re both child actors that grew up making movie after movie and they just so happened to get cast in the same projects and films over and over until it was pretty much part of their brand as actors.

Like when they’re little kids, they get cast in family movies with a lot of kids and they’re both part of the ensemble of children or main characters that are friends or something. At first it’s just chance because their families both have similar amount of influence so they just want their kids in similar movies until it happens way too many times for comfort. By their pre teen years it’s instilled into their brand and they’re rarely seen in movies without the other, but the characters they play don’t always have the same relationship, like sometimes theyre enemies, friends, and then eventually… love interests. It’s coming of age or tragic romance when they’re young but as they grow into teens and young adults they just always play either a couple in romance movies or like a will they won’t they dangerous romance in action movies. They’re both genuinely good actors and have many different roles across many different genres and play each well because they’re good at faking.

But the one thing they aren’t faking is that they do actually like each other. They became fast friends as children since they kept seeing each other on sets, their chemistry as friends on screen was real. And then they got closer and closer as they grew up and their feelings for one another started to rise but they genuinely believed it was just because they had started playing in a lot of romantic roles together and it was just because they’re good actors. It’s not until they aren’t cast as each other’s love interest, for once, and they have to do the same routine with someone else and they realize that they don’t feel the way they do with each other with these strangers. It’s not just a role, it’s real, and always has been. It feels like actual faking to pretend anything else.

I really wish Fellow Travelers (a show centred around a romance between two men who are both played by gay actors, with a production crew composed of primarily queer artists, based on a book written by a gay author and which gives much insight into the lives of queer people during key moments in queer history/politics) was getting a similar amount of buzz as Red, White and Royal Blue.

But nope, y'all are sleeping on this series so hard and it's a real shame.

Idc if it's a fictional character. the way you speak and act about black characters in your fav media is and always will be, telling of how you think about us in reality. don't be surpised if it makes people wary when it comes to interaction

Exclusive Interview: Not Looking co-creators & stars Jonathan Burke, Delius Doherty & Ahmad Maksoud "we want to explore how we love ourselves as gay men of colour"

Fresh, sexy, and necessary, Not Looking takes an insightful and entertaining look at the lives of three newly single gay men of colour in New York City—best friends Olu (Delius Doherty), Brandon (Jonathan Burke), and Sharif (Ahmad Maksoud)—who make a pact to stay out of romantic relationships for a year in order to support each other on their journeys of self-discovery.

Tatiana Maslany talks about her new crowdfunding film Next In Line with writer, director and co-star Danny Dolan.

Next In Line is a queer dance horror film set in the cutthroat world of Los Angeles choreographers.

After losing out on the job of a lifetime, one choreographer's attempts at self-care are hijacked by an unhinged and malicious rival.

Tatiana will play Willow, a washed-up, faux-spiritual choreographer, whose choreography is a visceral expression of her inner mayhem, who becomes unhinged when she learns that her rival Travis (played by Danny Dolan) received good news from his agent.

If the film reaches its $50.000 goal by December 6, it will be filmed for 3 days in February and released by the end of spring 2025.

working on the sampo compilation post i mentioned a little while ago but. there is such a tragic lack of sampo and black swan being reluctant homies in fan content. Most of her story quest is them having to put up with Sparkle's bullshit (affectionate) together.

i wonder if white people specifically white progressives realise that black people are only ever seen as their skin color first and foremost
