Strange things are afoot in West Hollywood, or at least that’s the case in the new thriller “Kiss Me, Kill Me,” about a grisly murder and a search for justice. After Dusty (Van Hansis) confronts his boyfriend Stephen (Gale Harold) about his frequent infidelity, he blacks out, only to wake up and discover that Stephen has been murdered. Now, everyone’s looking to Dusty as the prime suspect. The film also stars Brianna Brown (“Devious Maids”), Yolonda Ross (“The Get Down”), Jai Rodriguez (“Queer Eye”), Matthew Ludwinski (“Going Down in La-la Land”), Craig Robert Young (“The Last Ship”), Kit Williamson (“Mad Men”), Jonathan Lisecki (“Gayby”) and more. Watch an exclusive trailer for the film below.

I'll get this out of the way up front: I'm not much of a fan of romances of any sexual orientation. But I am a fan of cultural curiosities, so sitting through two new polar-opposite romances in a single week provided its own brand of overwrought appeal. While the diverting (though a bit overearnest) Zac Efron vehicle/longform Hgh infomercial The Lucky One is poised to invade the hearts of millions this weekend, another romance of a very different breed opens in limited release in New York City (with a run in La to follow in May).
Going Down in La-la Land tells the story of Adam (Matthew Ludwinski), an aspiring actor who relocates from NYC to Los Angeles to live with his longtime friend and fellow fame-seeker, Candy (Allison Lane). Once on the sun-soaked streets of Hollywood, Adam finds that getting auditions for film and television is tough -...

Going Down in La-La Land | Review - aGLIFF 2011 (Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival)
Director: Caspar Andreas Writers: Caspar Andreas (screenplay), Andy Zeffer (novel) Starring: Matthew Ludwinski, Allison Lane, Caspar Andreas, Michael Medico Going Down in La-La Land, directed by Caspar Andreas, follows the story of young, beautiful Adam (Matthew Ludwinski). Having finished acting school in New York City, Adam decides to move to Hollywood in order to pursue his dreams of making it big as an actor. He moves in with his best friend Candy (Allison Lane), herself an aspiring actress. Candy, however, lacks Adam’s motivation to even look for a job of any sort, let alone an acting gig, much to her husband’s annoyance. Candy’s primary concerns are her looks and having a rich man take care of her, and Hollywood gossip of course. Candy convinces Adam to join her gym with his last few dollars as she regards it as the best place to network. She isn’t entirely wrong about this.

There's a new gay film from Casper Andreas (Violet Tendencies, Slutty Summer) making the festival rounds. In fact, it's currently playing at Outfest in Los Angeles. The film is an adaptation of the comic memoir novel Going Down in La La Land which chronicles the adventures of a naive young actor who gets mixed up in porn/hustling when he tries to make it in Hollywood. As one does. Model/actor Matthew Ludwinski has the lead role.

I recently interviewed him for global queer culture magazine mate (previously known as "winq") and that's the splash page for the start of the article above. Interviews can be tricky -- especially if the interviewee doesn't have a big resume to talk about -- but Ludwinski and his photographer David Waage for this profile were very friendly and fun.
