Join us as #ILoveGay Today catches up with Ricky Reidling-Coburn from Palm Springs, unveiling his new fundraising campaign for the revamped pilot of his acclaimed "Some Kind of Wonderful." The original film made waves at 35 film festivals, clinching numerous awards. Ricky, known for the hit series "Boystown," has seamlessly transitioned to his current project.

In the vibrant setting of Palm Springs, "Some Kind of Wonderful" chronicles the intertwined lives of four LGBTQ+ pals navigating love, loss, and self-discovery with a blend of heart and humor. Picture a gay twist on Sex and the City against a desert backdrop—martini lunches, witty banter, and profound moments. Reidling emphasizes, "Palm Springs isn't just a backdrop; it's a character itself. The city exudes a unique charm and vitality that I aim to showcase in every scene." 🎥🌴
