- Opening Lines
A romantic comedy. Two gay men, Chris and Richard, are brought together on a blind date. They face the daunting prospects of dating, love, and finally moving in together. If they can survive the first date, having their best friends meet, a surprise visit from the folks, and a misplaced couch — maybe their relationship has a chance.

- Trolling
An aging comedy. When a group of friends gathering for a monthly event, they get some unexpected news. Ted’s grandson is about to enter his life. The dilemma is that during their 22 years together, Ted never told his lover, Jim, about the child. Trolling presents a humorous look at getting older, being gay, and taking responsibility for one’s past. A great ensemble piece for older actors.
