Congrats to "East Side Story" for GLAAD Media Award nod...

So I wrote about the GLAAD Media Award nominations yesterday but I gotta do a seperate shout-out to "East Side Story" because I love it so much. It's been nominated in the Movie for TV category which took me by surprised since I thought it ran in theaters and has been out on DVD for more than a year. But hey, it's cool. I know it aired on LOGO so that must have qualified it.

I'm really excited for writer-director Carlos Portugal and the three gorgeous leading men Steve Callahan, Rene Alvarado and Cory Schneider. The film tells the story of Diego (Alvarado), a closeted young gay Latino who works in his grandmother's restaurant and is having a secret affair with Pablo, a closeted real estate agent. Diego wants to leave it all behind and open his own restaurant somewhere else. Things change when a gay couple moves in next door in a neighborhood that is beginning to undergo gentrification. Diego is instnatly attracted to one of the men, Wesley (Callahan) and the feeling is mutual and electric. But the road to love is not at all smooth, mostly because Welsey feels stuck in his relationship with his bitchy boyfriend with whom he has just bought this house.

Here are some clips from the film:
