Pretty Boy
It must be exhausting trying to fix something that's not broken.
Directed by Cameron Thrower
Produced by Cameron Thrower Film
A dark coming-of-age drama about a bullied gay teen forced into a conversion encounter by his religious father, redeemed by an unexpected human connection that affirms his authentic self.
Sean is taken to a motel and is given a prostitute for his 18th birthday by his father. He must sleep with her to "fix" his questionable homosexuality. "Pretty Boy" is a coming of age story of a young bullied teen, Sean, struggling with his sexuality and the hardships of high school. After his father finds some questionable magazines in his room, this devout Christian will go to any lengths to get his son to find the light and "perform" the way a man should. Sean is introduced to Katie, a prostitute that understands the stigmas of modern society and helps him see the true light that is within him.
