Filmmaker Statement

“My Dear Boy” is an open letter of forgiveness that honors first love. It is a true story, absorbing a years worth of pain and healing. The metamorphosis of the project shifted as feelings continued to peel and evolve in real time. Through all the muck of anger, denial, and sadness, “My Dear Boy” now stands as the final phase of grief, a symbol of gratitude. It is a celebration of opening your heart up and being brave enough to feel it all. It is a return to self, a return to home after the quest. We are proud to tell an authentic queer story brought to you by queer filmmakers and actors. It is our deepest intention to create open space where viewers can be proud of their vulnerabilities and feel emotional resonance in the midst of viewing a hyper-surreal world.
