You have no idea how excited I am about today's interview! Thanks to Egmont UK and Peccadillo Pictures, who are working together to promote YA novel Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan and teen comedy G.B.F., I was offered the amazing opportunity to interview Director Darren Stein, and watch an advanced DVD of G.B.F. So awesome! I cannot tell you how chuffed I am to have been able to interview Darren!
Two Boys Kissing is about two teen guys trying to break the world record for the longest kiss to bring attention to gay rights. G.B.F. is about three Queen Bees fighting over Tanner when he's accidentally outed by his best friend, as having a Gay Best Friend is the new "thing".
I can't tell you just how funny G.B.F. is, and so important! It's absolutely incredible! Watch the trailer, then read on for the interview!

Can you tell us a little about your history as a director?

Movie Review: G.B.F. (advanced viewing) - G.B.F is a comedy in the vein of MEAN GIRLS and CLUELESS and centres around Tanner and Brent, two gay best friends. Brent longs for the spotlight and believes that coming out will make him instantly popular as North Gateway High’s very first G.B.F. (or Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and finish high school without ever being noticed.
Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan - New York Times bestselling author David Levithan tells the based-on-true-events story of Harry and Craig, two 17-year-olds who are about to take part in a 32-hour marathon of kissing to set a new Guinness World Record—all of which is narrated by a Greek Chorus of the generation of gay men lost to AIDS.
