Film Overview

In this delightful coming-of-age LGBTQ+ comedy from Sarah Holland (it’s the first feature film to be crowdfunded on TikTok), recently out Asian-American teen Twinkie and her nerdy best friend Egghead set off on a 2,000-mile road trip to meet her online crush (username: BigDykeEnergy). —M.G.Egghead and Twinkie have been friends for as long as they can remember. And although Egghead may secretly be in love with Twinkie, he is her main source of platonic support. When Twinkie comes out to her conservative parents and embarks on a cross-country roadtrip to meet her internet crush in person, Egghead is right there as her supportive partner in crime. Even though the love she’s seeking might not look the way she imagined, Twinkie’s journey of self-discovery will change her life for the better. Filled with quirky wit and charming animations, EGGHEAD & TWINKIE is a coming-of-age film that explores sexuality, racial identity, and most importantly, friendship. —G.S.
