A male prostitute who has dismissed the need for love in his life learns a lesson about affection from one of his customers in this independent
comedy drama from filmmaker
Q. Allan Brocka.
X (
Derek Magyar) is a gay hustler whose enigmatic name reflects his emotional distance from the world around him; he doesn't much believe in love, and isn't interested in sex unless he's being paid for it.
X has a dozen regular customers he calls his "disciples," and shares his home with two roommates --
Andrew (
Darryl Stephens), whose good looks sometimes tempt
X, though he's still uncertain about his own sexual feelings, and
Joey (
Jonathon Trent), an uninhibited and outré teenager who openly lusts after
X, to no avail.
Gregory (
Patrick Bauchau) is an older man who regularly hires
X for companionship, but he refuses to have sex with the hustler until he's willing to acknowledge that their attraction is mutual.
X isn't about to admit to any such thing, but one day
Gregory shares a story with
X that forces him to reconsider his thinking.
Boy Culture received its North American premiere at the
2006 Tribeca Film Festival.
