Bay Windows recommends it be LOGO’s WTC View.

If the prospect of a gay-themed 9/11 movie makes you cringe, your instincts are spot on. On Sept. 10 Logo will air an original film, WTC View, about a gay man named Eric who witnessed the attacks on the World Trade Center from his Manhattan apartment and who is struggling to find a roommate to take the room with the titular view. The film goes somewhere no film on 9/11 should ever go: it descends unintentionally into camp.

Over the course of the film it becomes clear that Eric is suffering from post-9/11 traumatic stress disorder, which sends him into a headlong panic every time he hears sirens outside his window or planes overhead. He reaches his lowest point when, in the midst of a panic attack, he spills coffee on the shirt that he bought at (cringe) a J. Crew near the World Trade Center that was destroyed during the attacks. As he manically scrubs the shirt in the kitchen sink, a prospective roommate visiting the apartment consoles him, telling him that he can always buy another shirt at J. Crew. Eric squeals, “That J. Crew is gone!” and collapses on the floor in hysterics.

LOGO chooses to leave out the hysteria over the J.Crew store in the synopsis on their site.

A young photographer living in post-9/11 lower Manhattan struggles to maintain his sanity as he interviews potential roommates and listens to their remarkable stories in producer/writer/director Brian Sloan’s screen adaptation of his acclaimed stage play. In the shadow of a national tragedy, Eric is faced with the daunting prospect of finding a new roommate with whom to share his lower Manhattan apartment. It seems that everyone has a story to tell of that tragic day, and as Eric calmly listens to the tales told to him by his potential roommates, his own story of tragedy and hope gradually begins to emerge to reveal the secrets of downtown life and the strange reality that appeared when the smoke cleared on a national tragedy.

If you’ve seen this movie, please share your thoughts in the comment section. If you watch it at 8 p.m. tonight, stop by and tell us what you think.

Daily Dose of Queer extends its condolences to those who mourn lives lost on 9/11.
