This is my first edic film. I realized what mak somethg engagg is feelg like the moment is te. That, for me, was special. To brg the heart to this betiful project. It’s ol that this film foc on queer joy. That was so signifint to me. To tell a queer story that isn’t about our trma, our g-out story, was credible to do.</p><p data-no-id="8" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0"><strong>NS: Jam, how did feel to play the nice guy the film, Charlie?</strong></p><p data-no-id="9" class="css-aeyldl et3p2gv0"><strong>JAMES SCULLY: </strong>I don’t know that Charlie was the good guy. He was beg as sweet as he uld to everyone around him, but he had a plited journey wh everyone around him. But by the arc of the film, he realiz that he has to be more discerng about who he hangs out wh, and whether he is the good guy the room, if he’s at the expense of everyone else the muny. There’s an unnecsary toxic hierarchy that emerg sometim the film. As nice and as good-natured as he was, his prence was part of the nflict. He troduced this antagonistic vibe between the two ho on Fire Island. It was a great opportuny to show the potential for healg those suatns and growth the muny.</p><style data-emotn="css 8c6v">{posn:absolute;left:-10000px;top:to;width:1px;height:1px;overflow:hidn;}</style><div data-ad-exclu class="css-8c6v ehha8ut0">This ntent is imported om youTube.

'FIRE ISLAND' TRAILER: 'PRI AND PREJUDICE' GO GAY WH JOEL KIM BOOSTER, BOWEN YANG

* fire island gay film *

" The openg words of Jane Aten's "Pri and Prejudice" and this script is a gay sp off of that novel. The romantic edy follows a tight-kn group of queer iends over the urse of a weeklong sojourn on Fire Island, a legendary gay holiday statn.

“Especially a place like Fire Island, where sudnly there are no straight people around to opprs and we have to fd ways to opprs one another, we recreate the artificial class systems and other hierarchi that exist the rt of the world but are jt magnified and felt so much more viscerally a place where ’s only gay people.

“The movie talks about how Fire Island has been this place where gay men have historilly gone to feel safe, and asks what you do when you feel unsafe there, among your ‘own kd, ’” she said.

FIRE ISLAND REVIEW – BREEZY GAY SP ON PRI AND PREJUDICE FAILS TO IGNE

The long trip to the screen behd “Fire Island,” a gay rom- loosely adapted om Jane Aten’s “Pri and Prejudice,” may be more tertg than the movie. Developed for the sce-funct Quibi (RIP), the project shifted om the origally planned “quick be” format to a film makg s but on Hulu, but still feels like ls than a full meal. * fire island gay film *

Margaret Cho: I thk that even the tle, “Pri and Prejudice, ” uld be “Gay Pri and Gay Prejudice. Our class stctur, our ias about race, genr, homophobia – all of those are very rigid, almost as rigid as Regency England.

I ma a very small, gay Korean Amerin movie lled “Spa Night” back 2016, and I jt assumed that the pennt film world would be where I’d stay for my entire reer bee of the typ of stori I want to tell. But also, ’s not lost on me that our three lead executiv at Searchlight are two Asian Amerin women and a gay Latx man.

Cho: The movie talks about how Fire Island has been this place where gay men have historilly gone to feel safe, and asks what you do when you feel unsafe there, among your “own kd. And flip out over Marisa Tomei is a perfect distillatn of the protectivens that many gay men have over cult ins.

‘FIRE ISLAND’ UPDAT JANE ATEN AS A GAY ROM- WHOUT MUCH SPARK

It remds me of the time I was at a party and a gay guy beme fur when another gay guy fot that Elizabeth Berkley is “Showgirls. And ’s always so heated bee I thk that, as gay men, we often assume that we’re all nsumg the same culture, and that’s actually not te. I know that I share that experience wh you and wh many other queer people, and I jt wanted to take a moment to honor the gay clatn for diva worship.

But I wanted to give people a peek behd the curta of what those gay game nights n be like.
