Get ready for a journey back in time with ALL MAN: The International Male Story, a documentary that celebrates the legacy of the revolutionary mail-order catalog. This Tribeca Festival and Outfest Official Selection will be released on digital platforms on June 6th, with select theatrical screenings to be announced.
ALL MAN: The International Male Story traces the unlikely story of a group of outsiders who designed one of the most sought-after mail-order catalogs of the 70s and 80s, International Male. This remarkable journey forever changed the way men looked at themselves, each other, and how the world saw them. The documentary features appearances by Matt Bomer, Simon Doonan, Carson Kressley, and more.
The film journeys across three decades of the catalog's unlikely but lasting impact on fashion, masculinity, and sexuality in America. Gene Burkard, a once-closeted Midwesterner and GI, found freedom in San Diego, where he transformed men's fashion into something cosmopolitan, carefree, and trend-setting. International Male reached gay and straight customers alike as it redefined images of masculinity in popular culture, generating revenue and circulation in the millions.
This character-driven documentary beautifully crafts a portrait of a band of outsiders who changed the way men looked at themselves, each other, and the world. ALL MAN: The International Male Story is a modern-day fairy tale about a dream that really did come true.
