Recently, I had the chance to interview Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard, the two stars from Lynn Shelton‘s film, Humpday. Humpday is a film about two guys that decide to make a guy porn together, except neither one is gay. It is all for the sake of “art”. Mark Duplass plays the character of Ben, a family man with the house, wife, and the boring job. Joshua Leonard plays the character of Andrew, the “artistic”, gypsy-type who travels all around the world and leads a directionless life. It was pretty interesting listening to the two of them for a few reasons. First off, they shed a lot of insight into their characters from the film, and because they were just entertaining.

Reading this interview before you see the movie might be slightly enlightening for a few reasons because they talk about the film! More than that, they talk about how they came up with their characters and how they, basically, were improvising throughout the entire film. On a side note: they have pretty awesome porn names as well.

Humpday is the most recent film by writer/director, Lynn Shelton, starring Mark Duplass and Joshua Leonard. Although they advertise this movie like a slapstick comedy about two straight guys who make a porn together and then deal with the aftermath, the film is nothing like that.

IN the end, it was an intelligent film about two guys discovering who they really are.
