Big Boys depicts a queer teen boy's first bear crush in clip

The funny, heartwarming festival favorite Big Boys is a beautiful ode to first queer crushes. The film from writer/director and self-identified big boy Corey Sherman and producer Allison Tate enjoyed a theatrical run in June and is currently On Demand. Now The Advocate has a clip of lead character Jamie (Isaac Krasner) waking up from a fantasy about his favorite cousin’s beefy new boyfriend, Dan (David Johnson III).

The film’s official synopsis reads:

“Jamie’s dream camping trip is ruined before it even begins when he finds out that his beloved cousin is bringing her new boyfriend. However, Jamie’s initial jealousy of the competent and confident Dan quickly turns into a friendship as they bond over cooking, games and both being ‘big boys’. But as the weekend progresses, despite Jamie’s brother’s attempts to set him up with a girl staying at the campsite, all Jamie wants to do is hang out with Dan. As his burgeoning crush gets him into awkward scrapes and arguments, Jamie begins to come to terms with who he is, and who he desires. Hilarious and heartwarming, Big Boys is the type of coming-of-age film we need more of in the world.”

In the exclusive clip, Jamie awakens in his tent after a dream where as a grown man he meets Dan in the bathroom of the campground where they’re staying, and they share a charged and intimate moment.

“I wanted to showcase the very funny, thrilling, and tender experience of a chubby teen going through a life-altering experience and allow him to be a fully developed, nuanced character,” Sherman says of the film. “I hope that all audiences who see the film can feel more celebrated and understood, including all the Big Boys who have never seen their story on screen before."
