Jackpot
The blurb: It’s 1994 and there’s no Internet. So 14-year-old Jack Hoffman sets off on a quest to find and retrieve a stash of gay porn from across town before anyone finds out.
This film isn’t explicit but it’s a lovely exploration of gaining confidence in yourself. And a fun (or perhaps sad) reminder of the world before internet porn.
“A fun (and beautifully shot) flight of fancy.” – Boyculture.com
