I saw this film on HERE. There is NO "here" here. Filmed on what looked like videotape, this is a new low in gay-themed story telling. Unbelievable on every level. I fast forwarded through most of it, though the "actor" playing Christian was an eye-candy respite. The movie left me with "issues". Why did I ever watch it? Poorly written, poorly acted, poorly filmed, miscast lead, incredible story line - and these are its GOOD points! Caveat emptor. To sum up: an average looking gay Joe goes to college and is immediately inducted into a "straight" fraternity(my gaydar went off the screen)after some preposterous gay hazing. Love blooms, conflict occurs, the green monster appears, all ends happily (questionable), and everyone dances off on the yellow brick road. I can't wait for the sequel.
... View MoreThe comments I have seen are shockingly childish and makes it obvious that you people do not see very many independent films at all! You want to see a bad film, watch Leather Jacket Love Story or Visions of Sugar Plums, or worst yet, The Forrest Song. Issues 101 is a great title, a great idea, and though it would have been great had there been a budget, it was great entertainment. I liked the original props and costumes, as well as the story. It was different in a great way. It is difficult to make a film, I just wonder how many films the previous writers have made? So the producers and actors and crew who worked on Issues 101, good luck, I know you all will make another film, and congratulations on being entered in so many film festivals (I don't know exactly how many there are, but saw that there were many on the poster).

She deserves a great project...and a chance to prove her acting abilities. I have several features to shoot within the next 3 years and I'll be happy to cast her in any she wishes! I have a sci-fi series (short stories) and an action adventure feature....along with a sequel to my animation live action comedy (I have talent attached)and several other projects in creative development. I'm easy to reach (through my assistant Stacie Oakley)Keep the smile Janet....wishes and dreams do come true! Best wishes and dreams; C.Kasper
... View Morealmost anyone with any kind of budget can make an alleged 'movie'. And that generally for the better. There's been some creative low budget gems. "Two Brothers", made for under $600 Canadian is a good example. "The Journey of Jared Price", shot in 5 days with a budget of $30,00 is a great little movie. Unfortunately, Issues 101 pales by comparison. My mouth open in aghast, I kept thinking I was watching someone's home movie. A bad home movie, with bad casting, little to no acting ability . . . oh, it's easier to summarize by saying nothing, absolutely nothing works in this . . . digital video footage. It doesn't deserve to be called a movie, or be listed in IMDb. It's only redeeming value may be to be watched by aspiring actors and/or directors to see what NOT to do. On the other hand, I will keep an eye out for Dennis W. Rittenhouse, who plays Christian, in porn. Nice face and body, and the simulated sex scenes in which he bottomed where the only times he seemed comfortable in his role.
