Description:
"Shiner," inspired by "Fight Club," explores the lives of two amateur boxers who find satisfaction in violent confrontations. It's one of three unconventional love stories in this feature film by 29-year-old Los Angeles director Christian Calson. The film also features a woman battling for her lover's affection and a boxer who obsessively stalks his own admirer. "Shiner" examines desire itself, portraying characters who seem unaware of their actions. Calson explains he aims to confront the complexities of wanting and being wanted. The film depicts unsettling behavior and deliberately avoids catering to expectations of easy, mainstream narratives about gay relationships. Calson states he wanted to move beyond simplistic portrayals, similar to how activists are tackling marriage equality.
