Dallas, TX: Award-winning film director Kurtz Frausun captures a gay couple's relationship struggles and the death of a parent, set in the backdrop of their Plano, TX apartment during a snow storm, in the new documentary, "Candid Love."
Jon and Daniel have been working on building a life together after both have experienced recent difficulties. But the news of Daniel's father having an aneurysm sends the already strained relationship into a panic-mode when he must disappear to Wisconsin to be by his dad's side. Sadly, by the time he arrives, it's too late. His father has fallen into a coma and the family decides to end treatment.
Jon remains in Dallas, trying to keep the home going and being a rock for Daniel to rely upon, their phone calls to one another being a source of both hope and heartache. But with Daniel's history of alcoholism and depression, a failed marriage to a woman who was the "love of his life" overshadowing his mental health, and Jon's bi-polar fluctuations, the strain becomes even greater, causing them to each question their motives, the meaning of family, and the future of their relationship.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"Frausun examines these questions with complete control, allowing them to breathe, and then collide, creating a profound uncertainty."
Film The Madman: filmlefou.com/2015/04/20/candid-love/
"Stunning, painful, maddening, and to my mind one of the best representations of gay men I've seen. I'm still processing it to be honest, but this is something everyone should see." Scott Colbert, The Supernaughts Podcast
"...a disturbing sight that raises all sorts of questions."

"An unusual and surprisingly challenging documentary which thrusts you into a situation that’s not uncommon but which is easy to dismiss or judge, but shows that underneath the complex issues of things such as mental health and addiction are real people looking for love and happiness."
Tim Isaac, Big Gay Picture Show: www.biggaypictureshow.com/bgps/2015/05/candid-love-review/
"What Frausun has succeeded in doing is producing a finely photographed film for a niche market...more importantly, he has stepped over and blurred documentary lines...big questions are asked - all on a miniscule budget...now, that's filmmaking..."
