Pissant Productions announces the DVD release of STRAIGHT ACTING,
Spencer Windes' debut documentary film about his evolution from a
conservative Mormon missionary into a comfortably gay man, by playing
violent contact sports. The fifty-seven minute film which premiered in
June at New York City's NewFest Film Festival is available via
www.straightactingmovie.com. DVDs retail for $9.95 (plus $1.50 shipping
and handling).

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.

"Gay or straight, all guys like to play - I hope that this message comes
through in my film, especially now when we spend so much time discussing
what divides us rather than what unites us as Americans, athletes, men -
just human beings. There is more to gay culture then what the media
shows and more that unites us than divides us." said Windes, a freelance
writer and the web marketing manager for American Apparel.

STRAIGHT ACTING, features the music of Fugazi as well as that of
several up and coming independent artists. Produced by Amy Sommer
("Waco: The Rules of Engagement") the film was edited by Matt Martin
("Unprecedented: The 2000 Presidential Election") and Emmy award winning
music man Lawrence Brown provided the score and music supervision.
