Synopsis:
STRAIGHT ACTING is Spencer Windes' debut documentary film about his evolution from a conservative Mormon missionary into a comfortably gay man by playing violent contact sports.
On the rugby pitch, hockey rink and rodeo circuit, Windes encounters the subculture of queer athletes, busting stereotypes, including those about themselves. Bruised and bloodied, Windes emerges from the scrum, having rediscovered a trait common to all men, gay or straight: the need to play.
"Gay or straight, all guys like to play;" I hope that this message comes through in my film, especially now when we spend so much time discussing what divides us rather than what unites us as Americans, athletes, and men - all just human beings. There is more to gay culture than what the media shows and more that unites us than divides us," says Windes.
STRAIGHT ACTING features the music of Fugazi as well as that of several up and coming independent artists. Produced by Amy Sommer ("Waco: The Rules of Engagement"), the film was edited by Matt Martin, ("Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election"), and Emmy award winning music man, Lawrence Brown, who provided the score and music supervision for this film.
