| The
Stranger in Us - A film by Scott Boswell. World Premiere
at Frameline Jun 23 2010. Like many young gay men
before him, small-town Virginian Anthony, (Raphael
Barker) arrives in San Francisco wide-eyed and eager
to drink up his new surroundings.
But
the cozy bubble of nights spent writing poetry in
coffee shops and playing house with Stephen, the career-minded
older boy friend he barely knows, soon bursts when
Stephen’s frequent outbursts of anger turn abusive.
Enter
puckish cutie Gavin, a barely legal runaway and hustler
who alternately acts as guide, enabler and watchdog
to Anthony. But the cheap thrills of conning would-be
tricks, cruising strangers and scamming free pizza
soon wear off, and Anthony and Gavin must reconcile
their longing for stability — something both
associate with the damaged homes they fled —
with their strong devotion to each other.
Shuttling
forward and backward across time, local writer/director
Scott Boswell’s debut feature is a bold, sympathetic
portrait of the struggles, pleasures and perils of
losing and regaining oneself in the concrete jungle.
