Breaking Glass Pictures has acquired the distribution rights to Christopher Hines' new documentary The Adonis Factor, a follow-up to his film The Butch Factor, which aired on Logo. QC Cinema, Breaking Glass Pictures' queer film label, will be releasing the doc on DVD Oct. 26.
According to a press release, Hines exposes how some men will go to dangerous extremes for the sake of "the Adonis factor"—the kind of god-like beauty only seen in ancient Greek sculptures. Through countless hours at the gym, medical procedures, and even self-starvation, many men are dedicating—and risking—their lives to attain one thing: physical perfection.
The Adonis Factor premiered to a sold-out crowd in June at San Francisco's Frameline Film Festival and will continue its worldwide film festival tour with screenings at the Oslo Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Atlanta's Out on Film, and more before its DVD release.
