The film, due out next year, stars Van Hansis (As the World Turns, Eastsiders) and Gale Harold, who is playing a gay character for the first time since his legendary role as Brian Kinney on Showtime's ground-breaking Queer as Folk.

Directed by Casper Andreas (Going Down In LA-LA Land, The Big Gay Musical,), from a screenplay by David Michael Barrett (Such Good People, Bad Actress), picture boasts some powerhouse indie talent: Willam Belli (RuPaul’s Drag Race), Kit Williamson (Eastsiders, Mad Men), Independent Spirit nominee, Yolonda Ross (Treme), Tom Lenk (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Brianna Brown (Devious Maids), Jonathan Lisecki (Gayby), Michael Maize (True Blood), Craig Robert Young (NCIS: Los Angeles), Jackie Monahan (Foxy Merkins, Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same), as well as Matthew Ludwinski and Allison Lane (Going Down in LALA Land).

"I'm beyond thrilled about the fantastic cast we have assembled," says director Andreas. "That we managed to attach such great talent is a testament to David's sensational screenplay. I can’t wait to get started on the production and get to work with these wonderful actors, including my two Going Down in LA-LA Land stars, Matthew and Allison.'

<!- more -->Queer as Folk brought to light the lives, careers, loves and ambitions of a group of young gay men and lesbians living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was not West Hollywood, nor the Castro, nor Chelsea. The series was an unapologetic celebration of a slice of gay life, but featured universal themes. It may have been a small world - a gay Main Street with a couple of bars, a disco, a few shops and a diner - but it resonated with all of us. During its five-year run, its series regulars included Michelle Clunie, Robert Gant, Thea Gill, Gale Harold, Randy Harrison, Scott Lowell, Peter Paige, Hal Sparks and Sharon Gless. Based on the British series created by Russell T. Davies, Queer as Folk was developed for American television by Ron Cowen and Daniel Lipman.

The L Word followed a group of friends - both gay and straight - through stories of career, family, struggles, friendship and romantic relationships. The intimate stories about the lives and loves of lesbian couples and their friends in Los Angeles, starred Jennifer Beals, Laurel Holloman, Mia Kirshner, Katherine Moennig, Erin Daniels, Leisha Hailey, Sarah Shahi, Rachel Shelley and Pam Grier as its series regulars over the course its six-year run. The L Word was created by Ilene Chaiken and Kathy Greenberg and Michele Abbott.
