Straight Acting Synopsis
"Filmmaker Spencer Windes' debut documentary film tells the story of how he evolved from a Mormon missionary into a comfortably gay man by playing violent contact sports.
On the rugby pitch, hockey rink and rodeo circuit, Windes encounters the subculture of queer athletes busting stereotypes - including their own. Bruised and bloodied, Windes emerges from the scrum having rediscovered a trait common to all men, gay or straight: the need to play.
"Windes' well-meaning and sweet film is part personal narrative and part exploration of brutal gay mens' sports like rugby...Windes' sincerity and the films' empowering portrayal of gay men make it worthwhile." = Washington Blade
