Synopsis

19-year-old Jared Price (Corey Spears) leaves the stability of his home in Georgia to start a new life in Southern California. With only a bag on his back anda few hundred dollars in his pockets, he sets out on an emotional journey of self-realization and sexual discovery. With little privacy and a prostitute for a roommate, Jared stumbles through the tight quarters of a Hollywood youth hostel. He befriends his young neighbor, Robert, whom Jared quickly discovers is eager to pursue more than merely a platonic friendship. Jared gains employment as a personal caretaker for Mrs. Haines, a wealthy, older blind woman. He suddenly falls into a deceptive relationship with her affluent, older son Matthew (Steve Tyler). When the relationship becomes personally destructive, Jared is faced, once again, with the difficult decision - whether or not to abandon his stability and risk his heart.

Review

The familiar story of a young country boy who moves to the city to sow his wild oats is given a fresh spin in this well acted erotic drama. Blond and blue-eyed 20-year old Jared (Spears) arrives in LA fresh from Georgia and looking for adventure. He moves into a youth hostel and meets sexy gay boy Robert (Jacobson). Robert falls for Jared, but Jared has not yet come to terms with his emerging homosexuality. Jared gets a job caring for a lonely blind woman, who needs in-house care. Her 35 year-old son Matthew (Tyler) shows up at the house and he becomes smitten with Jared. They hit it off and a hot sexual affair commences. Matthew is two-timing his lover and has a severe case of emotional blockage. There's lots of romance and hot sex in this unusual film, a cross between drama and erotica.

Low budget but enjoyable

It seems you get what you spend when it comes to cinematography. This film was shot quickly and on a low budget. As a result quite often it seems quite amateurish. But the characters and the storyline redeem its poor visuals.

The Journey of Jared Price has a wonderful storyline and great characters. The problem I had with this film was the cinematography. The camera almost made me dizzy from so much movement. And for the sexual scenes as others, it was too dark to see what the hell was going on.
