DIRECTOR ANDREW HAIGH ON THE STATE OF GAY CEMA (EXCLIVE)

And New York on April 6, Haigh sat down wh ET Hollywood to discs his own ontier trek and beg labeled a "gay director. Your reer began wh movi about gay characters or that took place that muny -- Greek Pete and Weekend and Lookg -- and then your last few projects obvly haven't. As a gay director?

Bee I don't really talk about much relatn to Lean on Pete, but there is no reason why Charley isn't gay the. So, to me, there is a world which, easily, Charley uld end up beg gay.

Now, the story is absolutely not set wh that muny or that world, so for me, I thk my perspective as beg gay is all of the stori. I feel like how I al wh Charlotte Ramplg's character that om my perspective of beg gay, maybe. And then terms of, like, very gay-specific thgs, the future I have projects that are, projects that aren't.

I'm que happy to be known as a gay director. One is very much, if happens, set among the gay muny.

Another one, the lead character is a gay person.

It's tertg, bee a lot more gay-LGBT films are beg ma now, which is great, so for me 's like, OK, what is the versn of that story that I want to tell?

HBO’S ‘LOOKG’ EPS: ‘OBVLY IT’S MORE THAN JT ABOUT BEG GAY’ (Q&A)

You are such an important voice gay cema -- or a gay voice cema that has been important to me, personally, so selfishly, I'm very happy to hear that.

And also, the stori that I want to see about gay life on the screen! What is your overview of gay cema right now? I wonr how films that have a gay ntext and ntent but aren't necsarily about love will get a wir dience.

I hope they even that regard, one of the biggt cricisms of Call Me by Your Name is that the straight sex the movie was more explic than any of the gay sex. And even though I loved the film, I would agree that the gay sex was somewhat ntered to appeal to a broar dience.
