Spahn's creativity abounds here and he's managed to construct a convincing, convicting, and even heartbreaking film even while the ensemble cast was never in the same room and, at times, not even in the same country.

Rated: 3.5/4.0

Director Ryan Spahn has managed to make an original film about the subject - gay representation and who plays gay characters in film.

Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)

There's a carefully planned authenticity to the set-ups. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the remarkable Facetime chat... It's a stunning, almost athletic sequence.

Rated: 5/5

Writer-director Ryan Spahn has a great ear for dialogue, and a gift for exploring important themes and making it entertaining. I highly recommend the film for the middle section.

Rated: B
