Breaking Glass Pictures
announced this past week that the DVD debut of director Gary Entin’s film
adaptation of Brent Hartinger's 2003 novel (and subsequent play), Geography
Club, will be available on Mar. 11.
Russell (Cameron Deane
Stewart — Pitch Perfect) is a high school kid who finds himself on the
outside of the social scene and struggling with his sexual identity. Nothing new or groundbreaking about those
types of issues for kids living through the “high school experience.” But the Geography Club takes a different
path in sorting out the potential trauma of being an outcast student.
Through a bit of
networking Russell and other students with similar isolation issues form a club
— sort of hiding in plain sight — where like-minded students, both gay and
straight, can gather together to discuss “geography,” which most of their
contemporaries could care a rat’s patootie about.
Other members of the club
include Terese (Nikki Blonsky — Hairspray) and her friend Min (Ally
Maki – as Dawn in the 10 Things I Hate About You television
series) and Kevin (Justin Deeley — The Wicked, Thriftstore Cowboy and as
Austin in the revamped 90210 television series) the
school’s star quarterback, who is absolutely terrified that his teammates will
discover his secret.
Of course there is always
the chance that their secret will be revealed, especially if someone wants to
join the club because they like geography.
At some point, either now or later, each one will have to face the
adolescent things that torment them … that’s life.
Bonus goodies include two
commentary options — one with director Gary Entin and screenwriter Edmund Entin,
who are joined by producers Frederick Levy and Bryan Leder; the second features
cast members Cameron Deane Stewart, Ally Maki, and Andrew Caldwell — plus there
is an hour long behind-the-scenes documentary titled, “The Making of Geography
Club.”
