Product Description
THE JOURNEY OF JARED PRICE
19-year old Jared Price (Corey Spears) leaves the stability of his home in Georgia to start a new life in Southern California. With only a bag on his back and few hundred dollars in his pockets, he sets out an emotional journey of self realization and sexual discovery. With little privacy and a prostitute for a roommate, Jared stumbles through the tight quarters of a Hollywood youth hostel. He befriends his young neighbor, Robert, whom Jared quickly discovers is eager to pursue more than merely a platonic friendship. Jared gains employment as a personal caretaker for Mrs. Haines, a wealthy, older, blind woman. He suddenly falls into a deceptive relationship with her affluent, older son, Matthew (Steve Tyler). When the relationship becomes personally destructive, Jared is faced once again with the difficult decision to abandon his stability and risk his heart.

 I would love to invite Corey & Lance over for a poolside drink April 2, 2008
The Journey of Jared Price - 3 *'s
Corey Spears did an Outstanding performance as Jared! I am also a Big fan of Director; Dustin Lance Black - "On The Bus" actually got me to burning man in '06 & `07. I also really enjoyed the character of Mrs. Haines - I think she did a fine job of adding some sophistication and comic relief. Granted with Guerrilla film making there are always compromises and I think had Lance had a bit more time, the overall product would have been greatly enhanced. I did feel for the lost innocence of Jared, though I felt his quickness to hop in to bed with Mr. Haines seemed a bit unbelievable based on his past experience at the hostile and his sense of sexual indifference. I really didn't feel a sense of sexual interest in Jared's character - there was a brief "shower" scene with Jared checking out a guy in the shower, however Jared quickly exits. There is also a scene with Jared video taping a unsuspecting guy masturbating, though I really didn't get a sense that Jared had any sexual interest in men or in general. Though everyone loves a good sex scene, I felt some of the sex scenes between Mr. Haines and his partner seemed absolutely gratuitous and I feel that more focus should have been placed on Mr. Haines seduction of Jared - that plot aspect seemed so rushed and unbelievable; a couple of meetings at the house, a poolside drink, then into bed...all and all a fine coming of age movie, with a hot star and a hot director (I wonder what the true story is behind Corey's casting - perhaps a good topic for a future film - now a sex scene between Lance & Corey would be anything but gratuitous).
 A Good Script, A Fine Cast, A So-So Production November 15, 2007

THE JOURNEY OF JARED PRICE is a small budget Indie that has so much going for it that overlooking the squeaky production values is not a problem. Though it is obvious that the film was made in a short time with a minimal budget (the quality of the film is washed out to almost variations of gray), the direction and the cast serve the screenplay by writer/director Dustin Lance Black well. It has some very fine moments.
Jared Price (Corey Spears), 19 naive years of age, arrives in Los Angeles from Georgia with high hopes and little money and checks into a youth hostel where he meets Robert (Josh Jacobson) who is more than casually attentive to the oblivious but interested Jared, and finds a job as an attendant to blind woman Mrs. Haines (Rocki Craigg), a kind and wise wealthy lonely lady whose son Matthew (Steve Tyler) is 'paying for' someone to give his mother the attention she needs. Jared and Mrs. Haines quickly bond, each supplying the care and tenderness the other needs. Matthew is living the high life on his mother's wealth and is in a long-term (but only partially non-monogamous) relationship with Andrew (Bryan Shyne) and when he meets Jared the signals go up and Matthew introduces Jared to his first physical relationship. Matthew's only conscience is his work partner Kate (Gillian Harris) who warns Matthew to be true to Andrew and not to pursue Jared. But as the tryst between Matthew and Jared deepens, each of the men learns more about himself and what is actually important in life and the story ends with enlightened views of the meaning of love.
Each of the actors does a fine job finding the core of each character and there is enough comedy to keep the drama afloat. Yes, there are scenes of bedroom activity, but they for the most part are done with taste. This is a fine example of how a good story and crew can make a good movie on a minimal budget. Were that there were more of these...Grady Harp, November 07
This was one.... September 5, 2007

When I first got involved with 10%, I bought alot of their movies, for the longest time, this was one of my favorites by them. Now having it on DVD, it's becoming one of those again. The only charecter I don't like is Matthew, kinda bad choice in name after Matthew Shepard was killed, but this is just a charecter. I adored Jared, his relationship with Robert, Mrs. Haines, Matthew's boyfriend Andrew. The ending was very inspiring-Mrs. Haines speech to Jared, then the kiss between Jared and Robert-that was cute. Some say this film is loaded with cliches, but my attitude to that is-if it has a good story and believable charecters, why should that matter?)Corey Spears does a very nice job with his role as Jared, and he's cute! Corey makes the comment in the feature, that he did a very uncomfortable scene with Matthew/Steve Tyler, followed by the love scene,he goes from hating him, to having partial sex with him. Other than Matthew, I adore this film, for obvious reasons.
Not bad...... June 17, 2007
This is not a bad little film. Sure its low-budget and looks it. The story is somewhat unrealistic although there are characters like the antagonist (Matthew)out there in the real world who are shallow and unable to love. Jared, played by Corey Spears, is an endearing character. Spears' acting leaves a lot to be desired at certain points. He's good in some scenes (the scenes with Rocky Price, the blind woman) and weak in others (the car scene where Matthew's boyfriend is taking him home). Much better is Josh Jacobsen who plays Robert, the hostel resident who wins Jared's heart. The guy who plays Matthew is not competent at all but the guy who plays his boyfriend does well by his part. I didn't want this film to end when it did. I wanted to see more of Jared and Robert's relationship. Compared to some of the travesties out there in [...] cinema, this one is not bad...not bad at all.
MY KIND OF MOVIE March 10, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
i really enjoyed this movie. it had its faults but were overlooked by me. i can really relate to this one. pretty much the same thing happened to me but many years ago. the interviews at the end were well worth watching. i do not under stand why there are not more like this. this movie required no thinking. it was just ENJOYABLE. maybe because it hit so close to home. i loved the characters and most of the acting. i thought the elderly lady was just a bit too much. the rest of the characters were fine. like so many of the gay movies nowadays, the so called straight players could hardly wait to tell all of us wierdos that this was their first time. supposedly they are experienced actors. why must they make such a big deal when they play gay. maybe for aunt mabel or mom and dad. this is the main reason i firmly believe that in a gay movie, the actors should be gay in their real life. just by watching all of them, it is easy to pick out the straight men and his one is no exception. i really like this one though. i rec'd it yesterday and have already seen it 4 times. as i said in the title: THIS IS MY KIND OF MOVIE and i recommend it to anyone that just wants to sit and enjoy without being too critical.
