PONYBOI

This exhilarating neo-noir feature based on the NewFest31 award-winning short film is a wild, neon-lit ride through the underbelly of New Jersey. Breakthrough writer and producer River Gallo stars as Ponyboi, who is forced to navigate the intricate terrain of gender affirmation within a perilous battle for survival at some of the Garden State’s shadiest locations, from laundromats to mob dens to 24-hour diners. When they become entangled in a drug deal on Valentine’s Day that goes horribly wrong, chaos and violence erupt and Ponyboi must confront both personal and existential trials.

Fresh off a fiery world premiere at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, PONYBOI features daring direction from Esteban Arango and memorable performances from a starry cast including Dylan O’Brien, Indya Moore, Victoria Pedretti and Emmy Award winner Murray Bartlett (THE WHITE LOTUS). This thrilling film mesmerizes by combining a no-holds-barred narrative with suspense, sensuality, high-stakes conflict and relentless action.
