The Works To Distribute Shortbus in the UK

 

PJ Deboy and Paul Dawson in a scene from Cameron Mitchell's "Shortbus"The Works U.K. Distribution has secured UK rights to the new movie Shortbus. A sexually explicit, strikingly artistic and ultimately hopeful new film, "Shortbus" is the story of a group of New Yorkers, straight and gay, male and female, coping with life and love in the modern day big city. They come together weekly at a Brooklyn salon that is both polysexual and bohemian, which features music, art and yes, sex. The follow-up to Mitchell's Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Shortbus features an ensemble cast who workshopped the project and engage in graphic on-screen sex scenes.

 

A sex therapist who can't have an orgasm, a dominatrix seeking a deep, lasting relationship, and a gay couple who talk about bringing a third guy into their relationship are among the interconnected group of New Yorkers depicted in the provocative new film. Mitchell developed the story with a cast selected through a casting call that received some 500 submissions via a website visited by more than a half million people.

Newcomers Paul Dawson, Lindsay Beamish, PJ DeBoy, Raphael Barker, Jay Brannan, and Peter Stickles, co-star in the film alongside Sook-Yin Lee and well-known performer Justin Bond.
