Leather Jacket Love Story

Director:David DeCoteau

1997 USA 85' 16mm B&W


He's just 18. Blond, frustrated and looking for something new. He's almost 30. Tall, dark and hot.
Eighteen-year-old Kyle is a tender and romantic poet who is comfortably out (even to his wacky
mom)
but not yet experienced in love. Mike, the 29 year-old construction worker, is an old hat at
the game who likes to play the field. When Kyle meets Mike at a coffee house
in Los Angeles'Silverlake district, they click.

Their date ends in a night of humpy sex followed by Mike buying Kyle a leather jacket the
following morning. Kyle thinks it all means love. Mike thinks it was a good roll in the sack.
The
way these two thrash things out is the essence of Leather Jacket Love Story,
a light romance of
a young man's first love and an older man's rediscovery of it.
There's plenty of nudity, sex, hunky boys, leather studs and L.A. divas (including Mink Stole) for
everyone. The pace moves leisurely, but the story is honest and something most anyone who was
once 18 can relate to only too well.

*Leather Jacket* will be preceded by Mejor no hables, an AIDS-related short film featuring
Rosy de Palma (famous for her many appearances in the films of Almodovar) as a vampire forced
to take to the airwaves of day-time talk TV in order to get her daily ration of blood.
At both screenings of Leather Jacket Love Story at Spiral Hall, you can win a
FREE Leather Billy - The world's first out and proud GAY DOLL.
