Boys on the Verge: Shorts

Wednesday, October 20, 5:30pm

These boys are on the verge of high-strung hysteria! TWO BIG FAGS meet up for a hilariously catty tête-à-tête. A man paces, dreading each new message, in +. Bouncy vignettes make up three selections from the UNTITLED BOOK SERIES. At a parallel-universe high school, queer is the norm and straight is DIFFERENT and SEAFOOD follows two disparate men searching for love. Vintage music and images meld in TAN MY HIDE, a young French boy finds family closer than he thinks by going FAR WEST, an Internet porn star’s childhood flashbacks provide a glimpse of his life before he was RAW MEAT, and a whips-and-cuffs hookup turns out to be JUST FOR LEATHER. And if you’re still hungry for dessert, EAT CAKE!
