Film. In Process Record. Christian Patrick, James Franco, Val Lauren. Originally produced by Strand Releasing in 2014. Directed by James Franco & Travis Mathews, this docufiction film is inspired by the mythology surrounding the highly controversial 1980 film, *Cruising*, starring Al Pacino – in which, 40 minutes of sexually explicit material was forced to be cut out. The filmmakers set out to re-imagine the lost footage. Assembling a mix of gay and straight men in the lead role, the result is a provocative exploration of the importance of the radical and transgressive in society and the value of engaging with the unfamiliar. Official Selection of the **Sundance Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Documentary/Essay Film at the **Berlin International Film Festival**.
