The Curiosity of Chance is now available on DVD. It's the 1980's, when new wave angst and gender-bending fashion were all the rage. The new kid at school, Chance Marquis (Tad Hilgenbrinck of American Pie Presents: Band Camp and Lost Boys: The Tribe), however is out.

On one end is the flamboyant drag queen and at the other, the varsity jock, Levi Sparks (Brett Chukerman of Crush, Eating Out 2 and Fall of Hyperion) on whom Chance has a bit of a crush...

An already 'out' and eccentric teenager recruits a bizarre circle of friends - made up of two oddball outcasts, a straight jock he's crushing on and a drag queen - to help him bring down the homophobic bully threatening his would-be peaceful, high-school existence.
"The opportunity to take this project from script to screen was a chance to try - in a single film - some of the things I've always loved about cinema. Creating and writing teen characters has always been fun for me and let's face it, high school is a microcosm of life," said director Russell P. Marleau. Watch a trailer...

Interviewed by Greg Hernandez about how the film affected his view on gays, Marco Dapper answered: "It was actually a real eye-opener for me. I wasn’t involved in the gay community at all. I wasn’t homophobic—I used to go to the Castro District for Halloween—but it was a touchy subject. I didn’t really know many gay people at all except for a few teachers. But I stated talking to the cast and getting to know everyone, and it opened my eyes to what the community is."

About how he enjoyed gay scenes, Dapper said: "I’m not gay and I don’t have tendencies, but I do make it believable. I’ve had guys say, “You’re gay, right? You looked like you were enjoying it.” I try to act and have the audience buy that. I learn the lines then throw them away so I can live in the moment, take in other people. I want to live in the moment and go off the other character." Concerning his now famous full-frontal scene, Marco Dapper said he didn't feel self conscious: "I am who I am. I think everyone should have confidence. I didn’t lose sleep over it."

"I wanted to take the idea of people lying about their sexuality to the most logical and humorous conclusion," said Phillip J. Bartell, the director and co-writer of "Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds," about his sequel to Q. Allan Brocka's comedy hit from 2004.



This new film is more logical and funnier-and perhaps even sexier-than the first film because instead of a straight guy pretending to be gay to get the woman he wants, in this film, it is Kyle (Jim Verraros) who tries to act straight to get Troy (Marco Dapper, pictures above) the sexually ambiguous hunk of his dreams, says Gay City News.

"I think the movie appeals to both gay and straight audiences because it addresses the issues of the pain and anguish sometimes associated with dating regardless of your sexual orientation”, says Jim Verraros. “And it does it an outrageously humorous way”. See the trailer below:
