Were the World Mine

In “Were The World Mine”, Director/Writer Tom Gustafson takes his well-received short, “Fairies“, and expanded it into a feature length film that addresses the question: If you had a love-potion, who would you make fall madly in love with you? Additionally, he finally answers many of the questions we were left wondering from his short. Those answers are woven amid a retelling/twist of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and the magical world of fairies – except this time, “fairies” truly means “Queers”. But don’t be put off! While there are plenty of stereotypes and obviously-gay-traits included in this magical musical movie and some viewers might find them offensive, they are used in a manner that dually embraces our Queer identity while shattering a few of those stereotypes. It’s not all a fairy tale, with a handful of consequences resulting in an acceptance of reality. But not all is lost, love still prevails! I highly encourage you to give this film a watch – it will draw you into its spell.
