The Purpose

 I want MORE CHRISTOPHER STREET TV said FAN #567!!!

Not a day goes by that a HUGE fan base of the hit series Christopher Street TV requests information on the continuation of the tale. Christopher Street TV has inspired so many other film makers to create content that explores love, life, and friendships that evolve within New York City. Well finally the wait is OVER and Christopher Street TVs tale will continue with the development of CockTALES. The CockTALES spin-off takes a look at the intoxication and unfortunate hangovers of being friends, business partners, and what it is like to actually become an adult in the "Big Apple Martini". CockTALES follows the life of Christopher Street TV's Jharemy Smith who has nestled himself in the Upper West-side of Harlem where he has tried on several different hats to become the young adult that he is today. He has survived an abusive relationship; the break-up of his best friend; and the trials of finding himself in the gay mecca of the world Christopher Street. After his new discoveries he has realized that girls run the world and decided to link up with his new BFF Blaire Knowles. She gives you no middle line; you either love her or hate her. A fashion fanatic and lover of the spotlight Blaire is the unpredictable sister of Beyonce. Unfortuately this truth is only in her head. Jharemy and Blaire are co-managers of the hottest gay night club in NYC where they never see eye to eye on anything except both loving and sharing good CockTALES.


 


The Impact

CockTALES is ultimately creating a bridge between hetero and homo life experiences by celebrating the friendship of a gay guy/straight girl couple. There is a enormous lack of knowledge within the world and this ground-breaking film is shedding light on stereotypes along with myths that individuals have created about being gay or straight. Within CockTALES the message of acceptance is being spread and in return it will be a vital tool in eliminating bullying while inspiring others to create with love not hate. By not assisting in creating a film that will help promote love and acceptance we are eliminating a tool that can in fact save a life. Bullying is running rapid throughout the world due to prejudices that are developed through ignorance and CockTALES is a major tool that will assist in educating which will then eliminate suicide, bullying, and self-hate.

Where Can I Get The Final Completed DVD?

Once the filming is complete CockTALES will go through several layers of post-production to ensure the best finished dvd product for your viewing pleasure. It will then be made available through TLA Releasing where you can direct your friends to purchase the CockTALES story as well as the Christopher Street TV DVD that's currently available.

What Can YOU do & What do YOU Get

We are ONLY $8,000 shy of reaching our goal for this film and we cannot do it without you. Christopher Street TV made a huge splash on the LGBTQ community; however it is now time to link hetero and homo communities and this film does just that. This fundraiser is not just to buy our creator a dinner at Red Lobster but to provide for our actors, crew, equipment, travel, insurance, production cost, and more. Christopher Street TV was built on the belief that "It Takes More Than One Person to Hold a Street Together" and now is the time for all of us to come together and create a mixed drink called "CockTALES" that will intoxicate others with a positive influence for years to come. And get this, by giving you are rewarded with a TON of cool incentives that will keep you very entertained and appreciated.

Easy Way You Can Help

Don't keep this mixed drink a secret. Tell EVERYONE you know about CockTALES. Young, Old, Gay, and Straight everyone has a character and message within this film that they can relate to. Every little bit counts $1, $10, $500 whatever you can give gets us one step closer to telling a tale that will shed light on the tales that occur when consuming straight and gay men.  The person that I would tell first is a GWLBWLB (Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys) because this is a film that the gay male, best friend girl duo will love and appreciate... It's their CockTALES that they have been waiting to share with the world.
