Make 'Cubby' Whole


Interior. Dive Bar

(Inadvertently) attended the Kickstarter party for the new gay film "Cubby" last night at Julius'. Based on a true story, "Cubby" is a "scrappy coming-of-age comedy, about a down-on-his-luck Brooklyn babysitter (Mark Blane) who unexpectedly befriends a sex worker," played by Christian Patrick of James Franco's "Interior. Leather Bar" fame. Naturally, hilarity ensues.

The campaign has just 24 hours remaining, and while it's already raised an impressive $65,000, it is still $25,000 short of its goal. Please have a look at the adorable pitch video and consider making a donation. The cast and crew are all great guys, and I'm not just saying that because I used to be a male babysitting operating Mesa, Ariz.'s very own KKK -- that's Kenny's Kid Kare.

Full details HERE.


SYNOPSIS | Mark takes care of children. But when he embarks on an unlikely friendship with a stranger, he loses track of who’s taking care of whom. This neurotic gay babysitter is Cubby's anti-hero. He sleeps on a mattress on the floor, shares a room with a stranger, and thinks he can survive on electrolytes from sugary energy drinks. With Type 1 diabetes and a habit of shoving money in his socks, you could say he is a complicated guy. As Mark is constantly mistaken as a father and takes advantage of this unwarranted attention, his personality & confidence overflow with the children he watches. When Mark is saved by the mysterious leather-clad Diego after a diabetic spell in a park, he discovers his rescuer's line of fetish & bondage work. Diego eventually confesses his current situation, and Mark offers up his dilapidated abode. Diego's recent altercation with his sugar daddy has Mark consumed with fascination. Both the babysitter and the leatherman will be changed - but will they also start to unravel?
