FAVORITE BOYS' SHORTS
In these sexy, fun and darkly entertaining boys’ shorts, we see the hilarious terrors of gay childhood, an Internet hook-up with unexpected motivation and what happens when you hate musicals.

Winner: Outfest 2007 Grand Jury Award for US Dramatic Feature & Best Actors in a Feature Film
25 CENT PREVIEW
Dir. Cyrus Amini, 2007, USA, 90 min.
Edgy and brutally honest, Cyrus Amini's gritty cinéma-vérité drama is an unflinching yet compassionate portrait of two young hustlers cruising the Tenderloin district of San Francisco. Marcus, a smoldering dirty blonde surfer-type, is the protégé, best friend and sometime partner of “DotCom,” a seasoned street hustler and aspiring singer. When Marcus's troubled past resurfaces, their lives are soon changed forever. Bristling with authenticity, 25 CENT PREVIEW crescendos to a moving catharsis.
IN PERSON: Cyrus Amini
