BIG BOYS: Award Encore

NewFest35 Audience Award Runner-Up: Narrative Feature
Streaming Dec 15–21
Jamie’s (Isaac Krasner) dream camping trip goes awry before it even begins when he finds out his beloved cousin is bringing her new boyfriend. But despite Jamie’s initial jealousy, he quickly bonds with Dan (David Johnson III) over cooking, games, and both being “big boys.” As the weekend progresses, all Jamie wants to do is hang out with Dan, despite his brother’s attempts to set him up with a girl at the campground.

With his burgeoning crush getting him into awkward arguments, Jamie begins to uncover who he is and who he desires. Hilarious and heartwarming without ever becoming too earnest, BIG BOYS — which took home the Audience Award at this year’s Outfest — is a budding-bear crowd-pleaser seldom seen within stories of self-discovery.
