Stubblejumper (2008) directed by David Geiss In the fall of 1975, at
the University of Saskatchewan, Doug Wilson placed an ‘ad’ in
The Sheaf seeking to start a campus gay group. This seemingly
benign action was the catalyst for a dramatic unfolding
of events, shaping the future of Wilson's life. This
biographical docudrama is a tale of activism, poetry,
performance, politics, and love.
Cured (2008) directed by
Courtney T. Gillen Gay Away, a new pill to solve all of
the world's problems, arrives on the market. One couple
feels the pressure to get cured.
