"F. Scott Fitzgerald Slept Here" explores the intimacy of friendships between men and the dynamics of unlikely match-ups. Paul and Gordon seem like opposites, Paul is a scruffy, white, girl-hungry, FTM poet. Gordon, on the other hand, is an over-achieving black student who is balancing his identity as a gay man with his conservative professional aspirations. While it seems like they couldn’t be less alike, the more we learn about Paul and Gordon, the more we find out that they both are struggling with the same question: How do I fit in?

"A film that explores fitting in at school and work, in love, and in one’s own body with great depth...extremely well-written and skillfully directed, "F. Scott Fitzgerald Slept Here" is highly recommended..."
