Faux (2010)

Actors: Matthew Feeney (producer), Landyn Banx (actor), Jim Westcott (actor), Christopher Michael Beer (director), Christopher Michael Beer (producer), Christopher Michael Beer (editor), Christopher Michael Beer (writer), Nicole Kruex (actress), Michael Cook (actor), Heather Amos (actress), Janet Fogg (actress), Anne Westcott (actress), Kirsten Gregerson (actress), Derek Dirlam (actor), Nick Evert (producer),

Plot: The story is minimal; love lost, love regained, love destroyed. Our characters are Caleb and Rin. Caleb lives comfortably in his upper/middle class lifestyle as a columnist and blogger. Rin is a prominent student filmmaker in the gay community at his college. Their lives intertwine when Caleb's wife is killed in an accidental hit and run, and Caleb's only memory of the accident is a bumper sticker of a one legged bird. The two develop a relationship that opens up Caleb's world to a new meaning of love, but transcends into dangerous and destructive when he begins to suspect Rin had something to do with his accident. The film is told in four intertwining storylines, shot in four different film styles respectively; Melodrama, French New Wave, Mumblecore (or 'Indie'), and Documentary which will actually feature real interviews from notable members of Minnesota's GLBT community. FAUX takes place during America's current perceptions of sexuality; specifically, the gay rights movement. It will center on Minneapolis's own GLBT community, and shall offer insight as well as provoke thought. But as this is the focal point, it will also embody a broader philosophy, disseminating ideologies of narrative time and history, as well as cultural concepts of sexuality and 'humanism' in the modern American capital. The film aims to approach sexuality in cinema from a typically untouched agenda. This isn't a movie about gays, straights, blacks, whites, bad guys or good guys; this is a movie about people; this is a movie about human beings.

Genres: Drama,
Taglines: The economy of cinema. The economy of sexuality. The economy of life.

[first lines]::Constance: My mom told me that my dad was doing an assignment in like, um, Rwanda - I don't know, some place like that - and he accidentally stood on a landmine. She said the first he he thought was, I can't photograph this, it's under my foot. So he took out a pencil and paper and made notes about it and all. You know, to have in case you had to write an essay on it or something. And then he counted to three, and jumped off. And the mine never went off. He told my mom not to tell me about it, because it would make me land up in a shrink's office or something. [grinning] I can just see him do it. He's just so weird. I mean, you've just got to accept that about him.
