Euphoria

Joseph March is not a happy man. He's stuck in a dead end job. His boyfriend has left him for a younger man. there's a naked stranger in his bed. And, he's about to turn forty. When his friends want to whisk him away for a surprise birthday get-a-way, what's a nice, gay guy supposed to do? Go along for the ride!! Hoping for a little relaxation, his friends have made reservations at a spa they discovered in an internet chat room. But, this is no ordinary spa. It's a health club, an educational seminar, a sex club, a nudist colony, a wilderness retreat and a penal institution all rolled into one! Forced to say, Joe has ample time to re-examine his life. With the aid of his friends and an odd assortment of spa guests, Joe eventually decides that it's time to "Rejoin the human race." But, that's easier said than done. Danger, drugs, hilarious characters, disaster and true love are all just a road trip away! If Joseph can survive the weekend, he just might find . . . EUPHORIA.

Killing Kittens

Synopsis:
Killing Kittens is a story of unlikely, yet lasting friendships; of loss and love and the need for emotional and physical human interaction. A lonely gay man, who suffers from a borderline personality disorder; his best friend, who truly loves him and the hustler from upstairs in need of an escape from an abusive relationship come together on an unforgettable New Year's Eve. At its' core, Killing Kittens is a dark comedy about abuse; about people who abuse themselves, about people who abuse others and about people who allow themselves to be abused.

Notes:
Killing Kittens is not recommended for children. It contains strong adult content, language and nudity.
