Just Say Love (2009)
Physical attractions appear to be the obvious explanation for two people to become a pair. But are they really the reflection of something sublime, everlasting or dare we say, spiritual? Do relationships start in the bedroom or in the heart? In this male love story, the bliss described by Joseph Campbell and sages throughout the millennia is a practical option for finding happiness. As the camera delves into the character’s minds and actions we find fulfillment on both a physical and spiritual level.

I rather liked this - even though i know I shouldn't have. It is scripted to within an inch of it's life and the gloomily lit photography looks, much of the time, as though the entire thing has been shot on one camera and edited together using sellotape and lots of good will. All of that said, however, there is an obvious, quite natural and basic, dynamic between Guy and Doug and it does work well on a multi-set one stage environment. The two performances - particularly Jaeger's - are sensitive and occasionally funny. The ending is slightly predictable - despite efforts to tempt a stray cat with vegetarian tuna, but proves testament to the triumph of love over almost all human-made rules and constricts.
