Synopsis

In Hitchcocked, Al and Fred discover that online hookups can be lots of fun until somebody gets hurt. Though brief, this hot casual-sex encounter stirs up some surprising truths about Internet-dating, love, life and death.

"My latest HD short is a tight, dark and edgy, psychological thriller. And as is typical of my work, layered with human behavioral insight, humor, and a strong dose of social commentary. Hitchcocked is a sexy, scary look at contemporary urban gay issues. And as it offers a stark contrast to the repressed world of Brokeback Mountain, is likely to resonate well with thoughtful audiences. In spite of its title, Hitchcocked is neither pastiche nor parody. Yet I freely borrow from the Master's trademark approach toward scaring an audience. Ironically, although my short’s title embodies a number of hidden meanings, in the end it is not the characters, but the film’s audience, that may find themselves 'Hitchcocked.' Enjoy your visit with Al and Fred." - writer/director/producer/editor David M. Young
