Michael Ausiello On Spoiler Alert

Screen Rage: This year feels like another enormous one for standard strange movies from Fire Island to Bros and The assessment. What is it like to be a portion of that, particularly with a story that's so individual?

Michael Ausiello: It's incredibly exciting. So much of this is about visibility and LGBTQ+ people telling their stories and sharing their stories. So to see such a variety and such a diversity of stories, it's wonderful.

Jim and Ben are so incredible. Can conversation a small bit approximately the casting handle for the film? Jim said you folks did a perusing together, so how included were you in that? And what was it like to see them bring your story to life?

Michael Ausiello: Jim optioned the book, [so] very early on in the process, it was very clear that he was going to star in it and that he was going to play me. Really, a lot of the attention was who was going to be Kit. There were a lot of conversations about who that would be. My feeling always was [that] I was looking less for someone to be a carbon copy of Kit; just someone who just had chemistry with Jim. Where you could believe that these two people were in love, that was more important than anything [to me]. And we hit the jackpot with Ben Aldridge.

I know we saw it within the trailer, but one of my favorite moments had to be the complete Smurfs scene. Did you truly have that much Smurf memorabilia in your flat?

Michael Ausiello: Well, I'd first like to mention, that is actually my collection in the scene. It's only a fraction of my collection; it's actually much bigger than that. And it is pretty close to what it was. I would say that in the movie, they take a little bit of dramatic license in terms of over Smurf-ifying the apartment. I didn't quite have that many on display at the time. But there were enough on display that it caused a bit of a crisis in our relationship. And it was actually an emotional turning point. And, obviously, the movie and the book get into the fact that it really isn't just about Smurfs, it's just about showing your authentic, true self to someone else and what that means.

It's such a special film [and] your to begin with as official maker. Do you've got any plans to proceed bringing imperative stories like this to the screen, whether it be on tv or film?

Michael Ausiello: My focus right now is this movie, but I absolutely want to tell more stories. I have more stories to tell. And the question is, where and how that is? I'm not sure. But I'm excited to sort of tackle it.
