Synopsis

The new film from Roger S. Omeus, Jr.(Finding Me), Finding Me: Truth takes us back to the urban story of friendship, love and relationships in life of Faybien Allen (RayMartell Moore).

A year later the young Mr. Allen’s world is defined by colliding truths and false realities that are brought to light in this sequel. He is forced to acknowledge and reconcile his naïve ways, if he is to capture the heart of his true love again.

He befriends the most unlikely character Jay (Maurice Murrell) and is introduced to a world of the unknown. Harsh choices and the darker side of life outline Jay’s truth. Very much the survivor in his environment, Jay’s story will leave you wanting to delve deeper.

Faybien’s two best friends, Greg (Eugene Turner) and Amera (J'Nara Corbin), a year later are no wiser to their myths and self-conceived identities. Amera tragically falls into the trap of the ‘crazy’ girlfriend. When a 4-month relationship and singing career aren’t enough to occupy her neurotic and obsessive mind. She begins to suspect her boyfriend (Gabe) to be cheating on her, which forces her to confront her quietly kept issues.

While Greg seems to be every woman and man’s fantasy all wrapped up in the charm of the urbane gentleman. His life mantra of being free and having fun has gotten him in a situation where his hands are twice as full. Recently being laid off from work and dealing with his own lack of financial stability/misfortune the impact of his shattered self-esteem and identity, push him to take a harder look at his own mirror of truth.

Truth explores the depth and intimacy of these friendships, the uncertain path of life and how our decisions are forged in the midst of it all.

3 Reasons To buy this film

This is the sequel to the hit gay movie Finding Me.
It's refreshing to see a gay movie with an entirely African-American cast.
The very cute RayMartell Moore reprises his lead role as Faybien.

Review

Who knew Jersey City could be such a hotbed of gay drama?

Less of a sequel (one needn’t have seen Finding Me to enjoy this movie) than a new approach, Finding Me: Truth follows the loves, losses, fights, jealousies and broken hearts of a group of friends. It centers around the sweet, bright-eyed and emotionally vulnerable Faybien (RayMartell Moore). Comfortable with his gayness but saddled with self-esteem issues, Faybien’s love life is put into an emotional spin when his ex, Lonnie, returns with an interest in reigniting their relationship. You’d think that he’d get a sympathetic ear from his friends, but they already have their own issues. Reggie’s in love with bisexual, non-committal Greg; high-strung queen bee Amera is certain her boyfriend is cheating on her; and the always-meddling muscle queen Jay is busy confronting his rough trade boyfriend’s girlfriend.

A memorable cast of African-American actors contribute to make Finding ME: Truth a fast, touching and furious emotional ride!

Best Movie of the Season

Romey wrote on 09/24/2011:

Although my partner and I viewed this movie a few months before at a film festival in Philly, I knew I had to somehow add this gem to my growing movie collection. The first film set the bar and was beautifully depicted in a positive light...but the sequel was NO HOLDS BARRED.

I truly enjoyed the film as we watched along w/ the entire cast.

Thank you my brother for telling our story. It is so needed and this movie comes at the right time for us to have a national discussion on GLBT black love. This movie left my emotions raw. I laughed, I cried, I talked back to the screen. Roger after those love scenes I need a cigarette and I don't even know how to smoke. Help me lord. I rewind those scenes to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. Take me Higher Lord. I am praying to God that he blesses you with everything you need to produce the 3rd one.

Relationships

Amos Lassen wrote on 06/23/2011:

Roger S. Omeus Jr. had quite a hit with his film “Finding Me” so he decided to continue his look at the topic once again in this sequel about African American gay men. Faybien (RayMartell Moore) is a gay teen who while finding himself finds some truths about himself and life.

We also meet Greg who lives in both the gay and straight worlds—he dates Tammy and sleeps with Reggie and neither knows that they are sharing their lover. Amera who is Tammy’s cousin knows what Greg is doing just not with Tammy but she is also worried about her man, Gabe, who she suspects is also playing around. Faybien, meanwhile, has a hard time finding someone he can trust or of whom he can ask advice about how to get over his ex-boyfriend, Lonnie (Derrick L. Briggs), who will always be the love of his life. It seems that no one is honest about their love affairs.

What this film does is look at relationships and nothing is as it seems. The film comes across as an honest look at the Black gay community in a way that we seldom get. Faybien and Lonnie share some very hot make-out scenes and we can tell as the movie progresses that everyone’s secrets are going to be exposed (hence the word “truth” added to the title). Everyone in the film seems to be having a wonderful time making this film and that adds to the overall production.
