The Boy Next Door
Directed by Gregor Schmidinger
Produced by Sunfire Images
A tender, introspective drama about an unlikely friendship between a troubled sex worker and a young boy, built on vulnerability and mutual healing.
Mark, a 25-year-old male prostitute who suffers from anxiety attacks accidentally runs into the 10-year-old son of one of his clients. When the boy tells him he is looking for his father Mark, taken by surprise, wants nothing to do with him. But while they wait for the client to return Mark realizes that maybe this unexpected guest was exactly what he needed. Over the course of the night this strange new friendship grows and gives both Mark and Justin the courage to overcome their fears and face their own personal demons.
