Synopsis:
It's summer, 1965! Time for every guy to grab his towel, his sunglasses, and his guy and hit the beach in this fabulously queer spin on the Beach Party movies of yesterday. Join hairdressers Paul and David, gay playboy Evan, Thad the hustler, and a slew of hilariously colorful characters as they take to the beaches of Fire Island for a weekend romp you won't soon forget!

My Pal Bette

Synopsis:
Bette Davis, the razor-mouthed, high-ball drinking, chain-smoking screen siren and unlikely mentor to pre-pubescent Tommy Klein. Tommy is an obsessive-compulsive nerd with an unhealthy attachment to his kvelling, Yente-from-hell mother until God and his army of well-chiseled angels grants him a guardian diva-Miss Davis in all her glory. Hilarity and pathos ensue as Bette teaches her awkward protege about bitch-slapping your inner-demons in this warped buddy comedy about divas, mothers, and self-empowerment.
