BIG BOYS

Corey Sherman | 2023 | USA | 90 min | in English
In this delightful and fresh coming-of-age story, Jamie is a chubby, clever gay fourteen year-old who is confused about his sexuality and uncomfortable in his own body. Then along comes Dan, the charming, beefy, bear boyfriend of Jamie’s cousin, who joins the family on a family camping trip. Dan rocks Jamie’s world and helps him understand that big guys can be sexy, too.

A live Q&A with the film's young lead actor, Isaac Krasner, will take place directly after the film... followed by a pizza party!
