Synopsis

DORIAN BLUES is a refreshing, coming-of-age comedy about a young man who realizes...he's gay! A winner of numerous Awards it is the debut feature of director Tennyson Bardwell.

Bright, charming - and closeted - Dorian (Michael McMillian) finds himself at a crossroads. Harassed at high school and overlooked by his family, especially his overbearing, right-wing father (Steven C Fletcher), Dorian can't wait for New York City and college.

Suddenly he starts to take the initiative and he's talking back to his father, making out with another guy for the first time, and admitting his gay feelings to his high flying, sports-star brother, Nicky (Lea Coco).
Dorian finds himself in one absurd and awkward situation after another, as he attempts to sort out his life and future happiness with the help of a cute therapist, a well-meaning priest, and a first boyfriend.
