A few weeks ago, I went to see a movie called "Gayby" with one of my dearest friends. It was an independent movie made in New York about a straight woman and her gay best friend having a child together. The gay best friend took off hist shirt a lot. This movie seemed like exactly my cup of tea. But besides the heartwarming gay-straight friendship storyline and the frequent shirtlessness, I was really impressed that this movie was made almost entirely through the fundraising efforts of the creative team through Fractured Atlas and Kickstarter. In a world where everything seems to get done only by large corporations including art and entertainment, the fact that I could see a movie in a commercial movie theater (albeit an art house) that was truly made by the blood, sweat, and tears of artists inspired me. So to Matthew Wilkas and the cast of "Gayby," I offer you a true IMS salute! Thank you for producing good shirtlessness the old-fashioned way!
Yours in shirtlessness,
Nandita
