Masterful journey into the mind of a twisted 20 something guy. Confronting and distressing premise that is beautifully written and directed. It is sure to cause enormous debate amongst audiences.

I first attended a screening of Boy at a short film festival, where it was clearly an audience favourite as well as being of outstanding quality.

The premise is extraordinary, forcing you to re-examine behaviour and communication between the sexes. Boy challenges its audiences comfort levels; portraying compelling characters who navigate the world of sexual tension, social interaction and discovery while painting a seedy and very dark side to the world of dating.

Glenn Fraser's direction was mature and insightful. This is a director to watch out for. Check out his other films if you get the chance. Chris Wheeler's writing is outstanding, if you have the chance to see anything else he has written, don't miss out.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The short form refers to creative works characterized by their brevity and concise storytelling. Unlike full-length feature films, short films have a running time of less than 45 minutes, while TV shorts have a running time of less than 22 minutes.

The thriller genre features suspense, tension, and excitement. These stories are known for keeping audiences on the edge of their seats and delivering intense emotional experiences by revolving around high-stakes situations, dangerous conflicts, and the constant anticipation of unexpected events.

Boy is on the verge of deconstructing the secret language of women.
