Ben Platt – Ease My Mind

≪ Previous: Erik Blood – Chase the Clouds

Pitch Perfect star Ben Platt has come out in both an emotional new video and an interview with People. Oh, you thought he was already out? According to Platt, he’s been out since he was 12 but is only now making his sexuality public.

Platt’s new music video for “Ease My Mind,” off of his upcoming album Sing to Me Instead, features actor Charlie Carver as his love interest. Platt said the decision to cast his love interest as male was easy, explaining that “when we were conceptualizing this sort of loose narrative that we wanted to connect through the videos, there was not really any moment where we had to decide it should be about me and a man as opposed to anything else because it was just, ‘We’re going to represent what this was inspired by,’ which was this man that I was in love with. So it was really a no-brainer.”

Oliver can’t help but wonder if his new tattoo is the cause of his recent spate of romantic bad luck. Gay and single in San Francisco, he spends a lot of time out and about meeting other like individuals. As he fails repeatedly to connect with any eligible bachelors and it seems that the pickings are getting slimmer and slimmer, he becomes more and more distraught over what could be the true meaning and power of his tattoo and whether it has doomed him to be alone forever.

A young lawyer hasn’t told his parents about his homosexuality. Now he must tell them–at a time when the diagnosis was still a death sentence–that he has AIDS.

An Early Frost is a 1985 American made-for-television drama film and the first major film, made for television or feature films, to deal with the topic of AIDS. It was first broadcast on the NBC television network on November 11, 1985. It was directed by John Erman, from the Emmy Award-winning teleplay written by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman, (story by Sherman Yellen). Aidan Quinn stars as Michael Pierson, a Chicago attorney who goes home to break the news – that he is gay and has AIDS – to his parents, played by Ben Gazzara and Gena Rowlands.

Storyline
Michael Pierson, a successful lawyer, suffers a bad coughing jag at work and is rushed to the hospital. There he learns from a doctor that he has been exposed to HIV. At home, he receives another piece of disturbing news: his lover, Peter (D. W. Moffett), confesses that he had sex outside the relationship because Michael is a workaholic and is living in the closet. Michael, in a rage, throws Peter out of the house. He then travels to his parents’ home to inform them that he is gay and has AIDS.

Michael’s father, Nick (Ben Gazzara), is a lumber company owner, and his wife, Kate (Gena Rowlands), is a former concert pianist, housewife, and grandmother. The couple’s daughter, Susan (Sydney Walsh) is married and has a child. Nick reacts angrily to the news, while Kate attempts to adapt to the situation. Nick initially refuses to speak to Michael for a day before breaking silence by saying, “I never thought the day would come when you’d be in front of me and I wouldn’t know who you are.” Susan, who is pregnant, refuses to see Michael, saying that she “can’t take that chance,” and Nick explodes when Michael tries to kiss Kate. Kate remembers reading in a magazine article that HIV is not transmitted through casual contact and tries to get the rest of the family to accept Michael (Gena Rowlands also taped a public service announcement about HIV transmission). Michael eventually winds up in the hospital (after paramedics who are called to his parents’ house refuse to transport him to the hospital) and meets a fellow patient named Victor (John Glover), a flamboyant homosexual with AIDS. The film depicts Victor’s death and shows a nurse throwing Victor’s few possessions into a garbage bag because she fears that the items could be contaminated.

When they have to share a camping spot with two sisters Jessie (Payton Austin) and Tessa (Ashlyn Talcott) their weekend turns onto a path they weren’t expecting.

This short film pays homage to the Salt Lake valley and Rocky Mountains that hold beautiful scenery and getaways from the busting city. Director, Shane Aaron has written the screenplay and will be directing the independent short film which holds lessons revolving around values in relationships and mental health. Partnering with best friend, Kodi Sell, they bring a short film about love, forgiveness, and the bonds that hold people together.
