Following a year in the life of James Sanchez, it's a story about a guy rapidly approaching thirty, who doesn't have a six-pack, full head of hair or a boyfriend. While his best friend Roxy, an actress-turned-activist, struggles with showing him there's life beyond the glitz of the disco ball, his other friend, Brandon, one of those gay boys comfortable in his own gay skin, works on getting James to at least talk to a boy. Feeling out of place in the world of circuit boys, caught between his Hispanic-American heritage and being gay, we watch James find his place in the world, realizing that life is in the journey, not the destination. (courtesy of Internet Movie Database) Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus – directed by Andrew Douglass Jim White plays himself in this engaging journey into the Deep South. Director Andrew Douglas tracks the alternative-country crooner as he brings his music to such diverse establishments as churches, jails and roadside bars.
