The F Word
When a homophobic TV series actor angrily calls his co-star a faggot in the middle of a busy make-up room, all hell breaks loose. It seems the actor in question is really just venting his professional insecurity, his sexual frustration, and his desire to have sex with another man. That's the starting point of this backstage story of love and lust in the world of series TV. Before the credits roll we see Penn Hicks (Jesse Santana), a young and aggressive gossip columnist from SNAP! Magazine, an Enquirer-type publication. He is on a cell phone with his secret studio contact, letting him know that he desperately needs some juicy dirt.
