About How I Got the Story
Collection of three short films from Nova. "How I Got The Story" — Beau Matthews interviews Michael Christopher, who gives Beau everything he has and Beau gets his big piece! "Double Deal" — Jeff Wells and Mike DeMarco meet each other at a gym, then go home to fantasize about each other showing off and they jerk off to the images in their mind. "Photo Play" — Photographer Quinn Curtis goes in for some close-up touchy-feely action with model Adam Stuart.
Directed by Scott Masters, How I Got the Story leans on a strong ensemble — Michael Christopher, Beau Matthews, Quinn Curtis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1982.
