Big Boys

On a weekend camping trip at Lake Arrowhead, 14-year-old Jamie falls head-over-heels in lust with his cousin’s hunky new boyfriend. Not that Jamie has any idea what to do with these burgeoning feelings, or if the object of his affection feels anything in return. Winner of the Outfest 2023 Audience Award.As shy Jamie enters his awkward teen years, the differences between him and his older jock brother Will are becoming more pronounced beyond the superficial. With his beloved cousin Allie returning from college to take them on a camping trip, Jamie eagerly awaits their reunion—that is until Allie arrives with her new boyfriend, the stocky and handsome Dan. As the weekend progresses, Will forces Jamie to join him in chasing girls, but Jamie can’t help being drawn to the supportive good nature of Dan. What results in BIG BOYS is a tender and bittersweet journey of queer self-awakening and affirmation, told with a fresh and funny perspective on what it feels like to have your first crush. –C.F.
