Boys About Town #1

2025 · 80 min

A loose, music-soaked drift through restless nights and messy young friendships, funny and tender but never tidy.

Directed by: Mike Cuenca
Starring: Joaquin Dominguez, Cole Graham, Sofia Beeson

Overview: Two music-obsessed misfits fumble through crushes, bad decisions, and restless nights in the city of Petropolis. Bobby’s shy, Calvin’s reckless—and growing up might ruin the one thing they’ve got: each other. The first chapter in a four-part, real-time journey through youth, lust, and loyalty.
