The Departure Of Roger Scott was written and produced by Kleg Seth in 1982. For some inexplicable reason this hard-hitting drama about a gay man struggling to leave the homosexual lifestyle and find redemption and spiritual fulfillment in Christ hasn’t found the audience that Tommy Wiseau’s similarly accomplished and heart-wrenching film, The Room, has managed to reach. That could change now that Dangerous Minds has decided to apply its considerable influence to introduce the world to Seth’s passionate cinematic cri de couer.

It’s not every day that I find a film this extraordinary. Here at the Campbell household, my Muslim love slave, Xanax addicted chihuahua and 16-year -old, grossly overweight, schizophrenic cat have had a sort of collective low-rent spiritual epiphany (a high similar to inhaling a box of whippits) while watching The Departure Of Roger Scott and have concluded, based on what we’ve seen in the film, that homosexuals like a stiff drink to help allay their constant sense of sexual guilt, need the heft of a Bible to anchor their constantly groping hands while enjoying the testicle teasing fit of a tight and perfectly creased pair of Jordache jeans or comforting caress of form-fitting polyester bell-bottoms. And they possess a panic stricken expression in their eyes that recalls the reaction shots in a Herschell Gordon Lewis movie.

We may be a motley, brain-addled crew but we do know our movies and we also posses an unwavering respect for the homo aesthetic…although we’d rather eat a pair of asbestos underwear than slip into anything made of polyester (That plastic shit fucks with your aura).

So here’s 14 minutes of The Departure Of Roger Scott . If you want to see the film in its entirety, visit Kleg Seth’s website and he’ll sell you a DVD of the whole film. This is the kind of personal movie that John Cassavetes might have made if he had suffered a severe blow to his head, become a born-again Christian and married Jimmy Swaggart instead of Gena Rowlands…
