In ‘You’re Killing Me,’ Jeffery Self Plays Himself, and Dates a Hot Gay Serial Killer

As gay film festivals kick into high gear across the country, we’ve got a trailer and clip from a new gay indie, a horror-comedy written by popular web homo Jeffery Self and Jim Hansen (director of the Chloe Sevigny series), who also directs.

It’s called You’re Killing Me, and it just had its world premiere at the Toronto LGBT film fest, and it will be having its Los Angeles premiere next month at OutFest.

The film centers on Joe (Matthew McKelligon), a fairly monotone and obviously creepy gay dude, who turns out to be a sociopath of the campiest variety possible. He starts dating George (Jeffery Self), a shallow, narcissistic, gregarious maker of viral videos (not unlike Self himself!) who thinks Joe is really hot and just makes a lot of jokes about killing people. Then, for comic relief, we also have the many talents of a gang of L.A. funny folk including Drew Droege, Sam Pancake, Jack Plotnick, and Bryan Safi.

At one point, Plotnick’s character mis-quotes Maya Angelou, attributing it to Oprah, saying, “When people tell you who they are, listen to them.” Also: The Facts of Life‘s Mindy Cohn carting around juice boxes!

And, of course, there’s a bunch of blood flying around, and plenty of shirtlessness.

Indiewire, in a first review of the film, says it “[nails] a unique and hysterical tone that says a lot more about the state of gay culture than we might want to admit.”

Look for this to land on Netflix streaming sometime in the near future.

 

 

Here’s a clip of a scene, too:

  1. Ugh. Looks horrible. Like everything else he does. Seriously, is there a bigger loser in all of “show business” than Jeffery Self!? No talent piece of crap. Have u ever listened to his psychotic “podcast”? A mess. And so is the podcast. Awful.
