A man proposes to his boyfriend. The offer of marriage is accepted, and then quickly rejected -- all in the days leading up to Christmas.
Jordan and Dave have been dating for two years and it finally feels like time to pop the question. At a train station on the way to his Aunt Vanity's house, Jordan proposes with a special kind of ring. To his delight, Dave eagerly says "yes" to marriage. Upon arriving in scenic Red Lodge, Montana, Dave suddenly changes his mind. The couple take no time to delve into the bump in their relationship due to the holiday festivities surrounding them. Dave's adoptive sister Lisa shows up with her lanky boyfriend Lace. And then Dave meets a young, twinky ski instructor who adds a kink to their already-fracturing relationship - all during the "most wonderful time of the year." The movie stars Joseph Lim Kim (Modern Family, Hawaii Five-O) and Richard Pierre-Louis (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Shameless), along with Diane Kylander, Aric Weber, Ross Andrew Dibble, Jessica Garibay, and a hilarious guest turn by Stephnie Weir (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Grace and Frankie) as a web psychic who predicts Jordan's future. It was filmed in Red Lodge, Montana and Los Angeles, California. It is the first feature by Dan Steadman, who would go on to write and direct over a dozen films, including Smile and The Mutts. His company Circa 87 is based in the Midwest and focuses on stories about underrepresented and marginalized people.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
