I’m the director of the first Lithuanian gay short, Berlinale Panorama 2011 selection Porno Melodrama, currently on MUBI.com: http://mubi.com/films/porno-melodrama
I’m currently fundraising for the first part of my debut feature, We Will Riot: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/romaszabarauskas/we-will-riot
It’s a film about beats, love, friendship, and the system that destroys it all.
The project got support from filmmakers such as Gus Van Sant and John Cameron Mitchell, but we need more financial support to make this all happen. In 10 days, we got $2,582, but we need to reach $10,000 in the next 15 days!
I’d really appreciate if you could support the project, and if you’d have any questions about We Will Riot or Porno Melodrama, I’d be more then glad to answer them. This is a forum for discussions, so feel free to comment on our story or Kickstarter project!
We were just featured on Indiewire! http://www.indiewire.com/article/project-of-the-day-a-young-dj-promises-we-will-riot
Still we need to reach our goal in the next 3 days – otherwise we get nothing! Please help us out!

Porno Melodrama (2011) is my debut short, premiered at Berlinale Panorama 2011 and still continuing to travel around the film festivals.
Being the first Lithuanian “gay film”, it provoked (together with my public coming out) a huge scandal in Lithuania, but nor there nor elsewhere it didn’t get many interesting reviews/analysis/interpretations yet… Since it’s now available on MUBI.com, and this forum has a reputation of gathering many cinephiles, I decided to try ask you to discuss my film!
To start a conversation, I’ll hint that for this film I was inspired by Douglas Sirk and such queer filmmakers as Almodovar, Fassbinder, or Haynes, that reworked the genre of the melodrama.
Yay! And if you want us to be Indiewire’s Project of the Week, please vote for us now (until Tuesday 11am Eastern time)! http://www.indiewire.com/article/vote-for-project-of-the-week-will-it-be-farah-riot-starboard-light-or-goddess
