Current Project: In between

Movie poster for queer indie film, "In Between". Written by, directed by, and starring Nicholas Molencupp.

Tired of waiting for leading roles that reflect his experience, Nicholas created his own opportunity by writing, directing, producing, and starring as 'Nick' in his debut feature, In Between. The film follows a husky gay man who must learn that being seen—and staying seen—can be its own kind of love story.

In The Press

"Molencupp tells his own story as writer, co-director and extremely affable leading man."

— Stephen Michael Brown, Silver Screen Capture (A-)

"Molencupp... has created a story that can... quietly punch you in the feelings."

— Randy Slovacek, Instinct Magazine

"In Between is an all-too-rare rom-com to put a 'husky' gay man front and center... [It] feels destined to make a splash."

— Cameron Scheetz, Queerty

"In Between sits in a register queer romantic cinema has mostly skipped... it will resonate with many of you reading and beyond."

— Bryce Quartz, Bear World Magazine

"Nick is just fantastic [in] his story, and I was blown away by the vulnerability. It's very hard to find a first-time filmmaker who has written something about themselves and then to be able to see it, cinematically."

— Elle Army (producer), via ArtsATL
