He asked me to read it and I thought it was really good, so he asked if I wanted to audition for a perticular roll, one which he said he's been having trouble casting. I told him to let me think about it considering I have never acted, I have been involved in two films before, but both times it was as a PA (production assistant.) There is one scene that requires the character he wanted me to audition for 'lightly kissing" another male character. I had no problem with this considering I have no attratcion to members of my sex and in my mind it would be like kissing a girl I was really unattracted to, which I have done due to truth or dare when I was younger. It didn't seem like a big deal to me, considering it is in the form of art, and I do not agree with censorship in anyway. Now my when my g/f read the script she freaked out so I told her I wouldn't do it, but I still think she is over reacting a little bit. Granted this is for a student film that will likely never even make it to a film festival and will simply go into reels for future projects... I'm just wondering what other views are on a m/m kiss on film.
I think your gf is homophobic.
I admire you for recognizing art for what it is.
I really dont like the fact that you fantasize that you are kissing a girl to get through the kiss with the guy. But, hey, thats my hang-up. I think you're right in doing the scene:thumbsup:
I am a straight male, i have kissed other straight males because i love them. Do we swap tongues? no.
its a kiss in friendship, and i am lucky to be on the recieving end of such wonderful friends, both male and female.
dont allow societies rules, or your gf point of view to make your decisions for you
