TLA Has a Taste for Boy Culture

An acclaimed queer independent director adapts a provocative book and populates the film with hot boys who don't wear a lot of clothes - sounds like a recipe for success.

That's the thinking at TLA Releasing, which recently picked up director Q. Allan Brocka's Boy Culture, based on the novel by Matthew Rettenmund.

Brocka's follow-up to film-fest fave Eating Out focuses on X (Derek Magyar), a hustler who gets involved with his two dishy roommates (Jonathon Trent and Noah's Arc star Darryl Stephens) while trying to figure out his relationship with one of his older clients (French film legend Patrick Bauchau).

Boy Culture copped the best feature prize at this year's Philadelphia Gay & Lesbian Film Festival, and TLA plans to have it in theaters in March.
