"Throuple"

Dekkoo Announces TVOD Release of Throuple

The Romantic Drama Explores the Power of Desire, Chosen Family, 

Music, and Non-Traditional Love

Following a successful theatrical run in New York City and Los Angeles, Dekkoo — the leading streaming platform for queer content — is proud to announce the TVOD release of Throuple, a raw, tender, and refreshingly honest new film from writer, star, and queer indie musician Michael Doshier.  The film follows a lonely gay singer-songwriter as he navigates the messy terrains of modern desire, friendship, and unconventional love. When he unexpectedly becomes romantically entangled with a married couple, he’s forced to reevaluate the relationship he desires.  All the while, he lives in fear that he’s losing his lifelong best friend to her new girlfriend. 

Loosely based on Doshier’s own life, Throuple began as a meditation on the evolving nature of love — and the beautiful, complicated gray areas where friendship and romance blur. The spark for the story ignited when Doshier’s closest friend and longtime creative collaborator, Tristan Carter-Jones — who plays Tristan in the film — entered her first serious relationship. He found himself “third-wheeling” with the couple non-stop, while also dealing with intense feelings of jealousy. At the same time, Doshier was exploring intimacy with married men in open relationships. These two experiences converged when he realized: “This is a movie.”

The emotional heart of the film lies in Michael’s dual journeys — romantic and musical. A dreamer struggling to voice his own needs, Michael drifts through life in a state of quiet passivity. It’s only through his evolving connection with Georgie and Connor, a married couple seeking to reignite their spark, that he begins to confront the patterns holding him back. Meanwhile, his decade-long friendship with Tristan is shifting as her girlfriend, Abby, begins asserting healthy boundaries — creating an emotional triangle just as complex as his romantic one.

Every character in Throuple brings their own emotional weight and perspective. Jess Gabor is quietly compelling as Abby, the film’s moral compass — a woman navigating the delicate balance between honoring her partner’s past and building their shared future. Tommy Heleringer and Stanton Plummer-Cambridge deliver beautifully layered performances as Connor and Georgie, whose relationship is tested, redefined, and deepened by the presence of a third. And through it all, Brooklyn hums in the background like a heartbeat — its cozy apartments, creative enclaves, and nightlife lending the film a textured, lived-in authenticity.

At its core, Throuple is a radical act of emotional representation. Rather than reducing polyamory to a plot twist or punchline, the film explores non-monogamy as a legitimate, meaningful structure capable of growth, conflict, and deep connection. Doshier resists stereotype and melodrama, grounding his story in one powerful question: “What if a throuple wasn’t something to mock or fear?”

Since its debut on the festival circuit, Throuple has resonated deeply — especially with queer and polyamorous audiences. At the Boston Wicked Queer Film Festival, three real-life throuples attended the screening and shared emotional testimonials about what it meant to see their lives reflected with nuance, empathy, and respect.  

In March 2025, the film screened to acclaim at New York’s Quad Cinema and Los Angeles’ Lumière Cinema. At the Manhattan premiere, one audience member remarked, “This isn’t just a queer story. It’s a human story.”

Ultimately, Throuple is about the universal human need to connect, and the courage it takes to ask for what we truly want. Doshier hopes the film inspires viewers to challenge assumptions, speak their truths, and reimagine the possibilities of love, intimacy, and friendship.

Throuple will be available to stream on all major platforms including Amazon, iTunes, InDemand, Google, and Dekkoo beginning June 6.

What would Pride Month be without Madonna and a related Human Rights statement? I ask you? I'm waiting...

"Yes" it somehow wouldn't feel right. Thus here is Madonna with the "Thought Of The Day" brandished on her  t-shirt "Protect The Dolls."

Dance With David Archuleta!

David Archuleta reimagines his flirty worldwide hit single, “Crème Brulée” with a bold new remix from DJ Haylee Wood. The track takes on a whole new life, infusing an electrifying energy with a dance-worthy beat. While David’s signature smooth vocals remain at the core, Haylee’s expert touch transforms the song into a vibrant dance anthem. Listen HERE

 

"It’s time to get people up and moving a little more with this Crème Brulée remix" says David, "I’m so happy to get another remix out there, especially after my love for EDM house music and remixes from raves and festivals. Haylee is such a talented DJ and she did a phenomenal job on this remix."

 

This remix cranks up the intensity and gives the original a fresh, dynamic spin. It’s a track that captures the fun, flirty essence of “Crème Brulée” with an even sharper blend of Latin flair and infectious pop punch. If you thought the original was addictive, this remix is even more irresistible. (OR Prepare for a track that’s even hotter and more addictive than the original).

 

“I’m so excited about this release—just in time for summer and full of summer vibes! I’ve been a fan of David Archuleta for years, so it was such a cool moment to be part of this remix. Huge thanks to David and the whole team!” – DJ Haylee Wood

 

With it’s truly infectious energy (and a hint of Latin flair), the original version of "Crème Brulée" HERE  had national media outlets such as Newsweek Magazine HERE and Bustle  here talking about the confident, fun-loving track that showcases David’s evolution as an artist—sultry, charismatic, and completely in his element. With smooth, dynamic vocals and a hook that sticks like caramelized sugar, David teases the listener—giving just enough to leave them wanting more.

 

This spring’s surprise hit music video for "Crème Brulée" HERE hit a chord worldwide and had fans recreating the edgy and intricately choreographed dance moves HERE. The video is directed by Nathan Kim, who has collaborated on projects for Charli XCX, David Guetta and Lady Gaga and features David embracing his love of the art of dance with the JA Collective dance trio.

 

"Crème Brulée" has all the ingredients to be a pop anthem for the year and is too irresistible to listen to just once whether it’s the original track or the new remix.  Give it a spin.

Can I Call You - HERE

Crème Brulée - HERE.

"All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I don't belong to you
And you don't belong to me 
Freedom!" - Freedom '90, George Michael

This weekend the Pride Celebration in West Hollywood kicks off on Friday May 30th leading up to the Pride Parade on June the 1st. June is the beginning of Pride Month. 

While I won't be taking part in any of the festivities, I will be celebrating nonetheless. For example, right here, right now....Happy Pride!

"Gay Pride was not born out of a need to celebrate being gay, but our right to exist without persecution. So instead of wondering why there isn't a straight Pride movement be thankful you don't need one." That's all
