Review

Circuit - Dirk Shafer's (Man of the Year) hyper-kinetic new film is set in the world of the circuit party. It's a fabulously bumpy scene where the boys have perfect pecs, designer drugs flow freely and weaker lives tend to crumble. John is a closeted small-town cop who escapes to LA to be out and proud. He becomes friendly with Hector, a high-end prostitute who brings John into the uniquely gay life of intense bodybuilding and night-into-morning dance parties. He also falls in love with Gill, who has already been through this scene and survived. As John falls deeper and deeper into drugs and partying, most of his friends lose patience, but Gill holds on. Events culminate at the annual White Party in Palm Springs, CA where lives are changed.

Circuit Soundtrack - Here is the musical soundtrack to the acclaimed film, filled with more than enough pumping tracks that are sure to get your pulse racing and your libido pumping. From the mood-enhancing (and very on-the-mark) score by Tony Moran and China Cat's twisted rendition of "White Rabbit", to cunty Kevin Aviance's club-hit "Ready Set Go" and chill out tunes mixed in with hard house, this is sure to be one of the season's biggest. So fire up the subwoofers, turn up the volume and add a mirror ball (you're on your own as far as "party favors" go) and you'll be instantly transported to Circuit Party Central.

When Boys Fly - You know who they are - it's those guys with the close-cropped haircuts, buff shaved bodies, piercings and tribal tattoos in all the right places. It's those hunks who are into the circuit party scene... it's a brotherhood... it's a total roving party from one city to the next. The White Party, The Black & Blue Party, The Blue Ball... it's websites, magazines, and promotions everywhere. The scene, as most of us know, has a darker, dirtier side and both parallel elements of the circuit are explored in this sexy, lively new documentary When Boys Fly.
