That coat must be part of Chad's all-purpose film-festival costume. :) Here he is at Sundance in 2007, promoting "Save Me" by giving away a bunch of "gay books" to a lucky recipient.
I like watching the expressions on the rest of the guys faces as they listen to Chad (Mark) tell his story. You can really tell who believes him, who wants to believe him, and who thinks he's deluding himself.
