‘Pretty Boy’ is a coming of age story of a young bullied teen, Sean, struggling with his sexuality and the hardships of high school. After his father finds some questionable magazines in his room, this devout Christian will go to any lengths to get his son to find the light and ‘perform’ the way a man should. Sean is introduced to Katie, a prostitute that understands the stigmas of modern society and helps him see the true light that is within him. ‘Pretty Boy’ is meant to inspire our youth to follow their hearts, to seek out their true family if ‘…the family they were born into isn’t the family they’re meant to be with.’

As the year comes to an end and with the 2016 Film Festival circuit about to get into full swing we are proud to e able to share Director Cameron Thrower award winning short ‘Pretty Boy’.

There has been a shift of sorts in just what the LGBT Community is today and many youths might not realise how essential and important this family community really was and the hugely important role that it still has today.

A truly unmissable short that’s both touching and honest.
