25 Days of Gays: Elliot Loves (2012)

Film festival favorite Elliot Loves is a light-hearted comedy that centers around Elliot (played by Fabio Costaprado), a Dominican-American boy looking for love in New York City. The story is told from two perspectives, jumping between Elliot’s life as a young boy struggling to make ends meet with his flaky single mother, and his present life as a 21-year-old who finds himself jumping from relationship to relationship. Elliot gives away his heart at the drop of a hat, only to discover his choices in men are never as wonderful as he makes them out to be. The film features Jermaine Montell, Monte Bezell, Rafael Sardina and Edward Cruz in shirtless scenes as the men play Elliot’s potential suitors at various points in the film.
