WATCH: When a gay guy and his straight BFF decide to make a “home movie,” things quickly get out of hand
Extremely Unique Dynamic was born, an absurdist, stoner meta-comedy that puts the focus on the homosocial bond between a young gay man and his longtime straight bestie.Written and directed by the filmmaking trio Katherine Dudas, Ivan Leung, and Harrison Xu, the feature finds the latter two performers playing thinly veiled versions of themselves, who make an ambitious home movie where they play themselves directing themselves… yeah, this one’s a mind-bener!Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.Danny (Leung) and Ryan (Xu) have been close for as far back as they can remember. So, when Ryan’s plans of starting a family means he’ll be moving to Edmonton, Alberta, the guys decide to spend one last weekend together at home, doing what they do best: Getting stoned out of their minds.Inspired by the dumb videos they used to make together as kids, the guys decide to make a movie about their friendship.“Has there ever been an Asian stoner movie?,” Ryan asks.“Yeah, Harold And Kumar,” Danny reminds him.“Yeah, but has there been one since?”After a brief pause, Danny responds: “…Harold And Kumar 2?”Fueled by way, way too much weed things quickly spin out of control, and suddenly they’re making a movie about making a movie—but that movie is about making a move, too.
