New York stage actor, Ryan Spahn (Good Enemy, Jane Anger, AHS: Delicate), will premiere his new short film, THE OTHER JOHN, at the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival and Out at the Movies International Film Fest.

Co-starring Wyatt Fenner (Chrissy Judy) and Spahn, the film - inspired by the early films of Gregg Araki - is a found footage micro-short spying into the sometimes violent ways hook-up culture destabilizes gay men's ability to make honest and truthful connections. Spahn wrote and directed the film.
