HUMP! Fest
Episode 1.4
In 2014, Jeff and Cosgrove starred in a short film called “The Glory Hole.” This is where it all began! They told the true story of how they met and fell in love at a dirty bookstore in San Francisco. Although Cosgrove prefers to just call them “bookstores.” The film was made for Dan Savage’s HUMP! Fest. The screening wowed audiences and ended up winning the Best in Show Prize (based on audience voting). “The Glory Hole” didn’t end at HUMP! and continued to have a far reach, inspiring many others to open up and tell their stories. “The Glory Hole” celebrates love at first sight without shame, even if it happens in a gay hook-up spot. Jeff and Cosgrove have been together ever since that day…. 26 years later.
