Set in 1969 Greenwich Village following the Stonewall riots, Lez Be Friends is a wacky, loving homage to the great sitcoms of the ‘70s. Putting a gay(er) twist on Three’s Company, producer Stephen Israel (Boy Culture) and writer/director Glenn Gaylord (Boychick) tell the story of Ricca Pike, a butch lesbian who must pretend to be straight in order to live with her two (inevitably shirtless) gay male roommates, lest she incur the wrath of their lesbo-phobic landlord, Truman DuBois (played by Robert Michael Morris, Mickey from HBO’s The Comeback).

In episode one (“Stonewalled”), Ricca and her best friend, Jamie, move from Ohio to The Big Apple. While apartment hunting, they meet hunky Stonewall Inn bartender Blake, who is desperately trying to find two new roommates. Faster than you can sing “come and knock on our door,” the unlikely trio agrees to shack up if only they can overcome one major obstacle: convincing the lesbian-hating, southern-dandy building owner that Ricca is a hetero girly girl.

Episode two (“All’s Kwell That Ends Kwell”) places the kids in a very hairy situation: a crab infestation that finds the roommates on a funny, frantic hunt for patient zero.

Director Glenn Gaylord will be attending a post-film Q&A.
