"Funny and heartbreaking" - EastSiders

Staff Report

Is being in love enough of a reason to stay together? After their four-year relationship was torn apart by infidelity, Cal has moved out of the apartment he and Thom shared in Silver Lake. Against their better judgement they have started to see each other again, but they no longer trust each other (or themselves) to remain completely exclusive.

The plot thickens as the ensemble expands to include Cal's eccentric sister Hillary (Brianna Brown) who descends upon his apartment after getting dumped by her boyfriend and immediately falls into an emotionally codependent relationship.

Season two will explore what it means to fully commit yourself to another person, as relationships end, begin and change inexorably.

One of the most acclaimed and popular LGBT series, the first season was released by Wolfe Video in 2014, and was a popular hit digitally and on DVD. Season 2 continues to humorously chronicle the hip millennial population struggling to navigate life, love, and making the rent - set against the bohemian backdrop of the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles. 

Entertainment Weekly called the series “funny and heartbreaking," and Out Magazine singled it out as "steamy and dramatic."

About EastSiders: The pilot episode of EastSiders made its debut on YouTube in December of 2013 to critical acclaim and viral success. The full series was subsequently picked up for distribution by the LGBT cable channel Logo and the first season premiered on their online platform. The series has received numerous accolades and awards, now acquired for DVD and VOD distribution by Wolfe Video.

Demanding more of the show, EastSiders fans donated more than $153,000 to a Kickstarter campaign to help create a second season of six half-hour episodes that was required for its release. Wolfe Video released the series on DVD on November 3.
