From director Spencer Schilly (Summer Thunder), The Houseboy is fearlessly raw yet surprisingly tender. Aimless and barely in his twenties, disarmingly cute Ricky is content to play boy toy to a pair of hot thirty-something lovers. That is until he overhears them whisper about a new toy for Christmas. Crushed and totally alone while his couple vacations, Ricky binges on internet hookups, random tricks, and hardcore drugs. Unable to kill the pain, Ricky contemplates the end. But a chance meeting with Blake, a sweetheart college kid with a thousand watt smile, makes Ricky wonder if there s something to live for after all.

« Other Spiritual Movies »

I knew a film maker who died very suddenly and I remember thinking: "What does a film maker leave behind?" This thought was the seed that sprouted the movie: Beatific Vision.

I found myself thinking of a secret film that a character would leave behind when he dies. Not one he wished not to be found but one he planned to be found. More than a final will and testament this film was a "Beatific Vision", a view into the future of all characters and a clear mapping of the coincidences that would occur.

As I began to write the screenplay the voice of the Angel started to speak softly and occasionally. Upon many re-writes the Angel voice was vieing for main character status. I tried to reel in the angel but he (Angel Chad) wrestled control away from me.

When another close friend was passing to the other side, she added a strong dose of acceleration to the writing process. There now are so many Angels (most recently my Mother) involved, I feel I am at best the living hands to this project.

When I was a small boy my parents used to call me: Angel Michael when they wanted my behavior to change. I actually grew up thinking I was an angel including my sprouting scapula wings. Today, I do not think I am an angel but I surely believe that I am their vehicle for expression on earth.

Thank-you angels for this "angels on earth" experience!

« Absolutetly bad »

I would prefered not to buy this movie, it was bored and the actors were as bad as they could. There's nothing interesting in the movie, not even the sex scenes. .:. Rating: 1 / 5

 

« Liked The Happy Ending Best »

This movie isn't the greatest, but for a gay movie it's not that bad. There was a lot of sex, but the one full frontal scene turned into a rather strange public service announcement. I enjoyed the happy ending the best. The dynamic of the his relationship with the sweet black guy from the park was a little too stark of a contrast with his life. You can easily imagine them breaking up about a week after the movie ends. The deleted scenes/outtakes were funny, the best one is where an actor tells everyone a joke. .:. Rating: 4 / 5
