The Extinction of Fireflies

Drew Droege has appeared in many gay films before, and always managed to create the best scenes in those films. In this film, he is one of the main characters, and certainly is the most charismatic of al of them. He plays an older playwright who is ridiculed by his friends behind his back, until a young man appears in his life, whom resuscitates sorely lacking sensuality and love back into his life. Drew Droege plays out this character's inner transformation with great nuance. The cross reference to the classical Greek love history of two gay lovers is also very cleverly incorporated.
