L-R Ty Chen, Smiling, Alex Honorato (promo photos) “What happens when you mix a queer director and horror movies? João Dall’Stella’s collection of new Halloween shorts for your spooky holiday, Hot Ways To Die, was born of his passion for challenging the norms of your true desires. The Hot Ways To Die collection of shorts features seven moving images that include a silky nightmare, a deadly glory hole, and even a cheeky nod to what happens inside every gym steam room. About the visual inspiration behind the collection, Dall’Stella shares: “If I’m dying, I’d rather do it while having fun and looking good.” https://www.instagram.com/p/Cyo4Tkjv_B-/ Through A Hole starring Alex Honorato and Dropping The Towel starring Ty Chen, the first installments of Hot Ways to Die, are now live Dall’Stella’s Instagram channel here and on TikTok here. The sexy, steamy, and humorous video portraits celebrate queer horror in the most unique way. “For years, I was afraid of being queer and coming out of the closet,” says Dall’Stella. “It took me a while to realize that living authentically means letting go of that fear. It’s similar to watching a scary movie – when you face your fear, there’s a sense of relief and excitement about what’s next.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CyuJ774PeUC/ The filmmaker adds that the entire cast and crew for the Halloween extravaganza are members of the LGBTQ comunnity. “It’s important to see LGBTQ+ representation on screen as heroes and villains, showing the light and darkness of the human experience.” Follow the filmmaker on Instagram here. https://www.instagram.com/p/CyjZVndSgql/
