A New Short Film
Starring Julio Vincent Gambuto, Dan Butler, Alec Mapa, Owen Vaccaro, and Logan Rozos
The New Yorker Studios presents a B5 picture. It’s minutes before curtain when America’s favorite “guncle” (gay uncle), standup comedian Joe Fox, finds himself cornered by his family in his dressing room. After touring the country at the mic, Joey returns for his hometown show with a secret: tonight he’s doing the show in full drag. Not everyone's thrilled. What follows is a comic debate between three generations of gay men about sex, sexuality, queerness, fluidity, age, race, performance, and “woke” culture. Silver Fox is a no-holds-barred comedy that pokes fun — a lot of it — at the confusion of the modern world and begs us all to not only laugh at ourselves but to protect one another as we continue to push boundaries. At its heart, it is a story of forgiveness, protection, permission, freedom, and play.

“Silver Fox is a love letter to the gay and queer community. I've been out for 27 years now, and I am in shock that we are still having the same conversations over and over about what it means to be different. So this is for our trans loved ones.” — JVG
