Director
Travis Mathews' debut feature, I Want Your Love, follows aspiring artist Jesse
(played by charming tattooed newcomer Jesse Metzger) as he counts down his
final days in San Francisco before begrudgingly moving back in with his father
in Ohio. I Want Your Love is a raw film that captures genuine moments with a
keen, voyeuristic eye. From booze -fuelled house parties to afternoons in the
park, the film covers, with surprising clarity, such familiar topics as moving
in with a partner, open relationships and hooking up with friends.

“I Want Your
Love” seems a conscious effort to take back gay sex on film from the
pornography industry and show comfortable, nonperformance-oriented lovemaking
among men who have genuine affection for one another. –Stephen
Holden, The New York Times
Intimate, sexy
and unflinchingly honest, I Want Your Love is a bold film with rare insight
into the uncensored lives of a generation of gay men –Andrew
Haigh, director of WEEKEND
