Written and directed by Mitchell (who previously starred in and directed the film adaptation of his international stage hit, HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH), SHORTBUS explores the lives of several characters living in present-day New York as they navigate the comic and tragic intersections between love and sex. Male and female, straight and gay, the characters find one and other – and eventually find themselves – when they all converge at a weekly underground salon called “Shortbus,” a mad nexus of art, music, politics, and polysexual carnality. Mitchell developed the film’s story along with his ensemble cast, all of whom are making their feature film debuts, and who were selected after submitting videotaped interviews/auditions in response to a well-publicized open casting call posted on a website. Over a half million people visited the website and nearly 500 people sent in tapes before the final seven leading performers/characters were selected to workshop the storyline with Mitchell.
The resulting film, one of the true sensations of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, presents sex and sexuality as never before seen in mainstream entertainment, and promises to be one of the most talked-about films for months – and years – to come.

I'm still amazed. Today I purchased the soundtrack and I can't stop listening to the music. It really takes you there! Thanks for making a real film, about real people, doing real things! Oh, and real sex too! Natural is much more beautiful than fake! :) Peace and Love
Shortbus is just an ode to modern life, a poem to sex, nothing is gross, nothing is shocking, you can watch it 10 times and new meanings will strike your mind. I can watch it 10 times or more and I always end up crying.
I love John Cameron Mitchell. Seriously worship him. When he finally looks over 18 I'll strip naked for him too.
In the meantime, maybe he'll check out my psyche on screen. Given an "unconditional thumbs up" from DreadCentral.com and described as packing more skeeviness in its brief 17 minute runtime than any movie I've seen in years," this low-budget labor of love was shot for $500 on a video camera. You can view BED BUGS online now at Dread Central's broadband channel.
HEDWIG AND THE ANGRY INCH!!
