Deleted Scenes (2010) , USA

IMDB INFO

Independent filmmaker Todd Verow has created one of his best (and most sexual) films to date with this edgy, fragmented telling of a troubled relationship. Set in a New York City summer, thirty-something Sean meets the illusive Wolf, an Eastern European immigrant on a West Village pier. What begins as a purely sexual thing, eventually changes into what can best be described as an intense, but dysfunctional relationship. Wolf, a straight-acting prostitute and Sean, a needy, talkative neurotic – are not the best fit for an affair but the two men attempt to make a go of it. When Sean becomes increasingly jealous of his lover’s frequent absences, his paranoia, fueled by drug use, threatens their budding love. Will the two be able to solve their problems and develop as lovers, or was it all just a sexual fling extended way too long? The story is told in a straightforward structure, but Verow adds in additional characters, asides and even an alternative ending! Raw, indy gay cinema at its best.
