According to the Festival program, Save Me is a film about redemption. Mark (Chad Allen) a lost young, gay man leads a wild life of drugs and meaningless sex, searching desperately to fill the emptiness in his soul. When Mark finally hits bottom, his brother checks him into Genesis House, a 12-step, Christian, "ex-gay" ministry specializing in healing sexual brokenness. Genesis House is the life mission of Gayle (Judith Light) and her husband Ted (Stephen Lang), Haunted by her past, Gayle is determined to save young homosexual men from their personal demons. Scott (Robert Gant), one of the program's "fifth phasers," is Mark's mentor. The growing friendship between these two men threatens Gayle. Increasingly suspect of Scott's motives, Gayle fights back, refusing to let her carefully controlled world fall apart. Torn by the specter of damnation and the pull of their hearts, Mark and Scott are forced to confront their truth. Your webmaster will be attending the premiere so we should hopefully have lots of photos to share with all of you next year.
