QCA Film: Were The World Mine


Were the World Mine is a new film musical by writer/director Tom Gustafson which plays out the fantasies of a struggling gay teen in a close-minded town in a musical film. The show’s main character Timothy, discovers a love potion while playing Puck in a Midsummer Night’s Dream and begins to turn the town gay. It raises an interesting ethical dilemma, the flip-side of the “ex-gay” movement—how vital is someone’s sexuality to personal identity and the community at large if it can be changed so easily?
It’s been playing at film festivals but plays in Louisville on October 31, and opens in New York, S.F. and L.A. in November, and other cities after that. Haven’t seen it, but the just-released full trailer looks sweet. And the boys in it look pretty delicious as well.
