The same year Punks premiered at Sundance, there was another film there by a white gay filmmaker called The Broken Hearts Club. The films are eerily similar except The Broken Hearts Club is a mostly white cast. Both films were well received, but [its director] Greg Berlanti — who is a friend of mine, very talented and this in no way is to take anything away from him — has gone on to become a premiere television producer. I’m not saying Greg is any more or less talented than I am…. What I am saying is doors were opened to Greg that just simply were not open to me; he was given access that I wasn’t. Fifteen years in, I’ve had to carve out a career of independent work while a lot of my white gay counterparts and white straight counterparts [are] doing the kinds of things that I just simply have not even been given the opportunity to talk about doing.
