Mr. Leather is the unforgettable account of the exotic and misinterpreted underground gay subculture of Leather Contests. Dubbing itself “American Idol Goes Leather,” the film traces the progress of 9 men as they enter the 2003 Mr. Los Angeles Leather competition, taking us into their homes, offices and relationships—with equal amounts of sincerity and raw humor—as the competition draws closer. But before the contestants take the stage to see who will be crowned Mr. Los Angeles Leather, filmmaker Jason Garrett intends on humanizing a subculture interested in leather and sexual fetishes, as told through the voices of sex experts, psychologists, doctors, and authors.
