Straight Up (2020)
Directed by James Sweeney
Todd is a hyper-articulate, obsessive compulsive gay twentysomething whose fear of dying alone leads him to a baffling conclusion: he might not be gay after all. When he meets Rory, a whip-smart struggling actress with her own set of insecurities, the two forge a relationship that’s all talk and no sex.

What critics compared Straight Up to
His debut feature, Straight Up, has a similarly weird relationship at the center.
Alaska-born-and-raised Sweeney first came onto the scene with his first feature Straight Up (2019)—which he also wrote, directed, and starred in—that premiered at Outfest Los Angeles and moved next to NewFest, the New York LGBTQ+ Film Festival.
…writer/director James Sweeney, "Straight Up"…
James Sweeney made an auspicious feature filmmaking debut in 2019 with his snappy, dialogue-packed Straight Up.
But Sweeney (“Straight Up”) isn’t all that eager to explore it.
His first film, Straight Up, felt this way as well but didn’t cross into the taboo as this one does.
