Halloween Night in San Francisco's famous Castro is a time for celebration and revelry. And that is exactly what three young friends are in search of in writer-director Gabriel Fleming's beautifully rendered story of reunion, desire and regret. Jasper, Mark and Lily were great high school mates. Now in their early twenties, they reunite on Halloween for a night of sex, drugs and good times. But simmering under the surface are pangs of what could have been - especially for the handsome, gay Mark and his straight and recently engaged pal Jasper, both of whom still long for each after a shortlived, teenaged affair and who have yet to find closure.
Written and directed by Gabriel Fleming and starring Ian Scott McGregor, Lucas Alifano, Lindsay Benner and Chris Yule, The Lost Coast tells a poetic tale of friendship and isolation that resonates long after the final shot. It's a soulful, meaningful story told with artistry, intelligence and passion.
The Lost Coast will be released on UK DVD on 24th May 2010 by Bounty Films as part of their Queer Culture Cinema series and distributed in the UK by Eureka Entertainment at the RRP of £14.99. The disc features a 1.77:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer and the following extras:
