Inside Out kicks off the 2012/13 Four-Play Series with the award-winning feature Gayby, a riotous comedy that keeps the laughs coming with the story of two best friends trying to have a baby together while each also tries to navigate the NYC dating scene.
Jenn and Matt are best friends from college who are now in their 30s. Single by choice, Jenn spends her days teaching hot yoga and running errands for her boss. Matt suffers from comic-book writer’s block and can’t get over his ex-boyfriend. They decide to fulfill a youthful promise to have a child together… the old-fashioned way. Can they navigate the serious and unexpected snags they hit as they attempt to get their careers and dating lives back on track in preparation for parenthood? Gayby is an irreverent comedy about friendship, growing older, sex, loneliness, and the family you chose.
"Warm characters, an appealing cast and tangy observations on friendship, dating and relationships." - David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
Audience Award Winner - Best Feature Film (Ashland Independent Film Festival)

Ohad Knoller gives another extraordinary performance as Yossi, a closeted gay man living a solitary existence in Tel Aviv.
Dr. Yossi Hoffman has become a valued and dedicated cardiologist, often using his work as a way to escape from dealing with his anguished life. He lives alone, still closeted, unable to break through the walls and defenses built around him since the death of his lover as we experienced in the heralded modern queer classic Yossi & Jagger (Inside Out 2002). Even his co-workers - a recently divorced doctor, who tries to sweep Yossi into his world of women and drugs, and a lonely nurse, who is secretly in love with him - find it almost impossible to get close to him. His daily routine at the hospital is shaken up by the arrival of a mysterious woman. He follows her, and through the surprising connection that they make, receives a rare opportunity to deal with his trauma. Yossi then travels to the southern city of Eilat. Surrounded by sea and sand dunes he meets a group of young Israeli IDF officers, among them Tom, a handsome and self confident openly gay man, who represents a new world, different from the one that shaped Yossi.

In 1988 Manhattan, documentary filmmaker Erik (Thure Lindhardt) and closeted lawyer Paul (Zachary Booth) meet through a casual sexual encounter, but soon develop a deeper connection and become live-in lovers. Over the course of a decade, the film charts the dramatic ups and downs of their relationship, as the closeted and emotionally unstable Paul binges on drugs and sex and Erik struggles to negotiate his boundaries while staying true to himself.
