Exploring Love  µµµµ
 
After the debut of Director/Producer Brent Bambic's second film, Exploring Love, at this year's Cannes Film Festival, Exploring Love makes it's United States debut at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, FLIFF.
Matthew Pearson in Exploring LoveExploring Love follows the life of Sean, played by Matthew Pearson and his relationship with his best friend Bastian, played by Jean Paul SanPedro. Both of these guys are truly hunks and having been models, they have an easy time hooking up with girls. Sean is however looking for true love, an emotional connection and a faithful relationship. No outsiders. Sean is also deeply spiritual and although not committed to any one religion, Christianity clearly defines his outlook on relationships. Bastian on the other hand, has a little more "European" outlook and accepts that commitment is easier to talk about than find. Neither one seems afraid to fool around while looking.
Jean Paul SanPedro in Exploring LoveHaving retired from modeling (at less than 30), Sean and Bastian now own a talent agency on South Beach. Over lunch one day Sean mentions that he's surprised how comfortable and open the two Gay guys are sitting the next table. When Bastian replies that he thinks its great, the plot of the movie begins to unfold; will the two Casanovas continue to look for love in all the wrong places or will they finally act on their apparent feelings for each other?
exploring love Jean Paul SanPedro Matthew PearsonExploring love is filmed in the nightclubs and on the streets of Miami Beach and so the scenery is very familiar to those of us that live in South Florida. There are spectacular shots from Sean's roof of the Miami Beach Art Deco skyline and a few breathtaking walks on the beach at sunrise and sunset. The quality of the acting and cinematography start out a little Soap Opera like, but improve as the movie unfolds and everyone gets more comfortable in their roles.
exploring love movie review gay christian film Jean Paul SanPedro Matthew Pearson miami south beach flAlthough I assumed that I had been given Exploring Love to preview because it had a Gay theme, twenty minutes or so into the movie, I was trying to figure out when it would be revealed, if at all. The movie is not really about Sean's homosexual identity; it's about his exploration of love and how that love will be a part of his life. Sean's deep emotional feelings for and relationship with Bastian are just one aspect. However, once the Gay storyline was revealed, this homo was hooked for good.
All in all this another solid Gay themed movie for the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival and definitely worth seeing. Once Sean and Bastian's feelings for each other are revealed, you'll be on the edge of your seat waiting to see how it all works out.
Bravo and four stars out of five.
