GLA40

My stat the gay guy world had changed, and that was jt how was gog to be. Where was the show that I uld intify wh, the one about gay men their 40s still tryg to figure out life and s twists and turns, ups and downs, surpris and disappotments?

I uldn't fd anythg alg wh issu to which I uld relate.And then I thought about all of my 40-somethg gay iends and how they all led very different liv om me and each other's as well. So, along wh my wrg partner John Sobrack (a fellow gay filmmaker, married and his 40s), I created The New 30 -- a digal seri about a group of diverse gay iends navigatg their 40s and disverg that life isn't nearly what they imaged would be at that age. It explor some of the real issu of beg gay and your 40s, such as erectile dysfunctn, tergeneratnal and terracial datg, baby adoptn, open marriag, adaptg to technology, physil challeng of agg, alg wh the past, planng for the future, and havg to start over, to name a few -- all handled serly and dramatilly but wh a touch of humor.

I've learned 's OK to be gay and your 40s and not have your life all figured out.
