Chucho E. Quintero – Discover great gay stories.

It’s the end of the world as you know it in director Chucho E. Quintero’s award-winning oddball indie Velociraptor – which is celebrating it’s 10-year anniversary this month on Dekkoo.

Set on the eve of an imminent apocalypse, the film offers up an unusual cross between Before Sunset and A Clockwork Orange while following two attractive young buddies from Mexico – one gay, the other “undecided” – as they wander the streets, awaiting their seemingly inevitable demise.

Deep in conversation, Alex and Diego (Pablo Mezz and Carlos Hendrick Huber) bond while sharing their fears and desires about sex and intimacy. Once they make their way to Alex’s bedroom, the true nature of their relationship is made clear.

The strength of their unbreakable friendship helps them test the limits of trust and loyalty while pushing one another into exciting new realms of sexual exploration. There isn’t much time left, after all – why not make the most of it?

A smartly written, heartfelt mix of comedy, drama, science fiction and romance, Velociraptor offers up a clever examination of what it means to be young man, exploring male friendship and desire in an entirely fresh way.

You can catch up on the pre-apocalyptic action of Velociraptor now on Dekkoo. We also have a trio of new special features available, including interviews with production designer Irina Miroslava and lead actor Carlos Hendrick Huber; and a conversation between director Chucho E. Quintero and filmmaker H.P. Mendoza. Watch the trailer below.

At only 30 years of age, Mexican writer-director Chucho E. Quintero already has three feature films under his belt. His first, Six Pack, was a high school coming-of-age drama; his second, Velociraptor, a dialog-driven gay sci-fi sex comedy. Now he brings us These Peculiar Days, in which eight high school friends celebrate their graduation by heading out to a cabin in the woods. That may sound like the set up for an Evil Dead-esque horror film, but the one thing you can always expect from Quintero is that he’ll defy your expectations.

An adolescent coming of age tale, These Peculiar Days follows this group of buddies as they gear up for a wild weekend to remember. Just before the trip, Isabel (Sofia Sylwin) breaks up with Roman (Gerardo Del Razo) when she finds out he’s been cheating on her with Oscar (Carlos Hendrick Huber). When Roman tags along to try to win her back, it turns this pleasant weekend into a ticking time bomb that will be set off by their unstoppable sexual impulses.

Soon, the lines between their sexuality begin to blur as allegiances and love affairs are quickly made and broken. An unabashedly erotic look at modern sexual fluidity between young adults from acclaimed writer-director, These Peculiar Days is both fresh and endlessly compelling.
