I saw this short at the Pensacola LGBT Film Festival not long after it was released last year, and walked away so very happy I invested the time to see it.
Quite the different coming-of-age story, this film tackles a diverse number of subjects including bullying, questioning one's own sexuality, extreme fundamentalism, a clueless father, and the rarely seen portrayed "helpful and intelligent prostitute."
Brilliantly written and just as brilliantly acted, you will have moments where you cringe, ones where you cheer, ones where you want to hug the poor kid, and ones where you might even shed a tear. One thing for sure is you will want to watch it again.
To quote the old "Men on Film" guys from "In Living Color" ... I'd give it 'An around the world and two snaps up'" rating. I think you will too.
