Tonight It’s Me

Synopsis:

A hot young hustler finds himself in uncharted waters when he spends the night with a client who’s far from the “johns” he’s used to servicing.

Quick Thoughts:

This queer short film is a conundrum – a stunning, thought-evoking conundrum that draws you back for even more! I’ll be frank, I didn’t really enjoy “Tonight It’s Me” that much when I first saw it. However there is something about the story and the depth of it all that called to me enough that I watched it again. And then again. Before I knew it, I was simple awed by how it all weaves and interweaves together to tell a rather simple story about a chance encounter one night. It’s all about the juxtaposition between CJ and Ash; they’re caught up unexpectedly in something potentially special while having to balance their own lives. Even with the simplicity of the story, there is a depth to the dialogue that digs down and makes the viewer think twice about what is happening. If you haven’t seen “Tonight It’s Me”, then I strongly encourage you to go watch it! And if you have seen it already, what did you think?
