Fusion Entertainment has added writer and director Elliot Tuttle to its roster of management clients. This move follows the debut of Tuttle’s provocative feature film, **Blue Film**, which premiered at The Edinburgh Film Festival and later screened at NewFest.
**Blue Film** is a queer thriller starring Tony winner Reed Birney (“Mass,” “Succession”) and Kieron Moore (“Sex Education”). The story follows a camboy named Aaron Eagle (Moore) over the course of one evening, unfolding through an encounter with a client (Birney) who has ties to his past.
A graduate of Occidental College and based in Los Angeles, Tuttle’s creative work extends beyond film. His narrative podcast, **Lina’s Song**, starred Hari Nef and Dylan Gelula and was executive produced by Mark Duplass.
**Blue Film** marks Tuttle’s directorial debut. Despite being considered too controversial for many major festivals, the film earned rave reviews upon its debut. Variety critic Guy Lodge praised the performances of Birney and Moore, describing the film as “an unabashed provocation, but not a hollow one.”
The film was both written and directed by Tuttle and produced by Bijan Kazerooni, Will Youmans, Waylon Sall, and Adam Kersh—founding partner of Fusion Entertainment. Mark Duplass served as a consulting producer on the project. Currently, **Blue Film** is seeking distribution, with Submarine Entertainment handling sales.
Adam Kersh stated, “At Fusion, we’re passionate about championing bold new voices in independent cinema, especially those pushing queer storytelling into uncharted territory. Elliot Tuttle is a singular talent—fearless, provocative, and deeply human in his filmmaking. *Blue Film* announces the arrival of an artist unafraid to take risks in pursuit of emotional truth.”
