It’s
true, it’s tough to find love in Los Angeles or
any large metropolitan city, especially when you’re a
little too sensitive, a little too controlling, and a
little too precise in everything you do. Eric Bremer
might say that he elevates “typical male behavior”
with his obsessive attention to appearance, manners,
and a preference for the finer things in life.
Finally, there is a label for the “gay” straight man –
Eric is “The Metrosexual”.
Eric’s search for love is certainly not helped by his
eccentric, high-maintenance father Lou who has a knack
for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time, or Kurt,
his best gay friend, who steals all the female
attention without even trying. Instead of “going with
the flow,” as his closest friend Leo suggests, Eric
fearfully tries to control and contrive results with
the women around him. A controversial neck kiss, an
overly planned house party and a fiasco with a couple
of prostitutes seem to lead this metrosexual further
and further away from his goal. Ironically, it is
only when Eric is “least on top of his game” that he
is able to stumble upon a genuine possibility.
With “The Metrosexual,” Kaufman has produced a comedic
romp that defines Metrosexuality and allows audiences
to identify on a strong level about letting go and
trying to find your way in the world of love.

Bio:
Adam Kaufman is one of Hollywood’s most
sought-after trailer editors. Winner of multiple Key Art and Golden Trailer
Awards, he has played a central role in opening some of Hollywood’s
biggest films including: “Casino Royale;” “Kill Bill;” “Starsky
and Hutch;” “Master and Commander;” “Spider-man 1, 2;” and the
blockbuster opening of “Spider-man 3”. Kaufman wrote and directed the
film, “Faith”, which took top awards at major film festivals throughout
the country. Leonard Maltin called it “a remarkably self-assured piece of
filmmaking,” and Rex Reed added, “A first rate film!” Adam has also
directed several TV commercials with his Nike Break Dance spot generating
considerable industry buzz.
In directing and editing his first feature, “The Metrosexual,” Kaufman
has applied the same techniques that have made his trailers so popular.
"The Metrosexual", which many are calling this year’s “40 Year
Old Virgin”, has just been completed. Kaufman's distinctive skill as a
director, combined with his edgy cutting style, makes "The
Metrosexual" a smart and exciting addition to the Hollywood landscape.
