I WANT YOUR LOVE

After years of treading water in freewheeling San Francisco, a young gay man
prepares to move back to his roots in the Midwest. During his last weekend in
town his friends, roommates and ex-lovers throw him a party that brings his
already bittersweet feelings about leaving into sharper focus. Torn between his
creative dreams and the reality of earning a living, he's forced to take
responsibility by redefining what it means to be an artist, a gay man, and an
adult. Expanded to feature length from an award-winning 2010 short film of the
same name, I Want Your Love dares to capture the uncensored zeitgeist of
modern-day San Francisco unlike any film before it.




ABOUT

In 2011, filmmaker Travis Matthews came to NakedSword with an idea for an
unconventional film that would blend real people with real sex. That film, I
Want Your Love, has now toured festivals, been written up in the New York Times,
and been praised by filmmakers and audiences alike as a landmark in gay cinema.
In March 2013, it finally comes home - and to you. I Want Your Love will make
its online debut exclusively at NakedSword!




FILMMAKER COMMENT

With my movies I've always sought to capture honest and intimate depictions of
modern gay life with everyday guys. And It was during the filming of my
documentary series, In Their Room (2009-present), that I started to see all of
these small narratives popping up, stories of contemporary gay life that were
largely being overlooked in film. Inspired, I began writing the first draft of I
Want Your Love.

I wanted to accomplish a lot with what would become my first feature, and at the
top of my list was to place characters in situations that felt honest and
relevant to the people I knew. This involved a throughline of intimacy and that
meant not shying away from sex. Sex can be employed to do a million different
things, but most notably it's used to get people off. I wanted to expand on that
and to use it as a tool to show character development, interpersonal issues,
intimacy, playfulness and something overall closer to the reality I'm familiar
with.
