Director Statement

Bathroom Stalls & Parking Lots explores dating in today’s hook-up culture. It analyses how dating apps have turned relationships into disposable and meaningless experiences through times. Studies have shown how it can alter our psychological associations with men, sex, and love in general. The movie examines the subjects of expectations versus reality, emotional intelligence, and availability. It also questions love being as real as sex, and whether it has the same rules or not. We take a closer look at the culture of romantic relationships among gay/bisexual male youth in the Castro District of San Francisco.
