June 26th
Humpday:

When Andrew unexpectedly shows up on Ben's doorstep late one night, the
two old college friends immediately fall into their old dynamic of
heterosexual one-upmanship. To save Ben from domestication, Andrew invites
Ben to a party at a sex-positive commune. Everyone there plans on making
erotic art films for the local amateur porn festival and Andrew wants in.
They run out of booze and ideas, save for one: Andrew should have sex with
Ben, on camera. It's not gay; it's beyond gay. It's not porn; it's an art
project. The next day, they find themselves unable to back down from the
dare. And there's nothing standing in their way - except Ben's wife Anna,
heterosexuality, and certain mechanical questions.
