save_me_poster_web_iqqz.jpgThat is the bare-bones media-soundbite synopsis for the recently released film, Save Me, which premiered at several select theatres in New York City and Los Angeles and will be making the LGBT Film Festival tour this fall. At first, I thought this was going to be just another "gay movie" with the prerequisite soft-core porn "love scene," the melodramatic over-written monologues, the cheap cinematography, and the beautiful yet poorly trained actors that we have all come to expect from your run-of-the-mill gay film. I was expected something on par with the slightly entertaining but vastly over-praised film Latter Days, which in hindsight can only be referred as a guilty pleasure.
