“Winner Takes All” Fights "Looks" Hierarchy of Gay L.A.
June 06, 2011
“Winner Takes All,” a dark comedy tackling the “looks” hierarchy in gay L.A., will have its West Coast premiere at the Hollywood Fringe Festival this June, after its April premiere at the 35th annual Atlanta Film Festival.
“Winner Takes All” follows the unapologetic manipulator Ryker as he engineers a fight between his two lovers….with Ryker himself as the ultimate prize.

His adoring slave Simon (Alec Mapa, “Desperate Housewives”, “Ugly Betty”) certainly thinks so. Brian (Hunter Lee Hughes, “Dumbass Filmmakers!”), the rich provider boyfriend, and Ernesto (Adrian Quinonez, “Eating Out 2”), the muscle-bound protector boyfriend, fall under Ryker’s spell so completely that they agree to a primal brawl for alpha manhood. But what is the all-too-human consequence for fighting for the one you love? Is there a cost...
