Synopsis

José lives with his mother in Guatemala City, where they survive on her selling sandwiches at bus stops and with him working at a local restaurant. It is a poor and sometimes dangerous country where, dominated by conservative Catholic and Evangelical Christian religion, living one’s life as an openly gay man is hard for José to imagine. His mother has never had a husband, and as her youngest and favorite child, though at the edge of manhood at 19-years old, she is determined to hold on to him. Reserved and private, José fills his free moments playing with his phone and random sex with other men arranged on street corners and dating apps. When he meets attractive and gentle Luis, a migrant from the rural Caribbean coast, they pursue an unexpected relationship with more emotion than José has ever felt. He is thrust into new passion and pain, and self-reflection, that push him to rethink his life even as he is reluctant to take a leap of faith.

Theater Averages: Getting Assistance to Reach the Top

February 7th, 2020

The Assistant

It was a busy week for the $10,000 club, as we had four entries, compared to none last week. The Assistant led the way with an average of $19,785 in four theaters. Incitement and José had near identical averages earning $11,219 and $11,191 respectively. Beanpole barely made the $10,000 club with an opening weekend of $10,008 in one theater. More...

Limited and VOD Releases: Getting Short Changed

The Wonderland

The 2020 Oscar Shorts lead the way on the limited release report this week; however, it is far from the only release worth checking out. The Assistant, Beanpole, The Wonderland, and others are all intriguing. I don’t think any of them will find an audience, but I think most people who do get a chance to see them will be impressed.
