Greg Luna is the 23-year-old writer and director of MWM, a short feature that adapts a story originally featured in New York about married men whose ambiguous sexualities lead them into double lives.
INTERVIEW: What struck you about the MWM story when you read it? Why did you think it would make an effective film?
LUNA: When you live in liberal communities, especially big cities, it's easy to forget that your own gay experience is not an accurate reflection of every gay experience. That's what moved me about the article. MWM is a fairly common representation of many gay realities; coming out isn't an easy step for everyone. The "married white male" subject in the article was particularly interesting to me. His awareness and delusion are very closely linked.
INTERVIEW: Who do you want the story to reach?
LUNA: I'd like MWM to reach people who normally might be quick to judge men in these situations. The film allows the audience to judge the protagonist, but I think it also confronts some basic truths about love and desire. The easy reaction is disgust: the online cruising, the anonymous sex, the cheating. The more challenging reaction is to find empathy and understanding.
