Get ready to fall in love with the handsome stars of gay rugby drama ‘In From The Side’
In From The Side since… well, since we first heard someone was making a gay rugby movie!From writer-director Matt Carter, the celebrated British indie is about two rugby players who fall hard for each other.
The trouble is, they’re both in relationships, and the secret affair threatens to tear their lives apart—and their teams.The story was inspired by the writer-director’s own time in a South London gay rugby club. “Rugby has a rich and extensive culture that has been under-explored on film,” Carter says. “I therefore felt deeply that I wanted to bring this to a wider audience and raise the profile and public knowledge of the existence of ‘inclusive’ sports clubs.”Related: 10 queer sports movies to awaken the jock in all of usThe feature’s scored loyal fans while playing the queer film festival circuit over the past year, and now it’s finally hitting theaters in the U.K this weekend.So, while those of us stateside await a U.S.
release date or streaming details, we thought we’d tide you over with an overview of In From The Side‘s stars—who happen to both be named Alexander.Thankfully, they’re both pretty active on Instagram, with plenty of photos that’ll put your mind in the sin bin (that’s rugby-speak for “penalty box”).
