Little Boy Big Boy

The writer of the upcoming indie film Little Boy Big Boy, Lex Bonife gave me two tickets on their invitational premiere night at Robinsons Galleria. I've been a fan of the tandem of Director Jay Altarejos (who has a very cute boyfriend Mark Xander) and writer Lex Bonife. Their previous films like Ang Lalake sa Parola, Ang Lihim ni Antonio at Kambyo are good indie films who did not just focus on sex stuff but has good story to tell.

Here's the synopsis of the film "Little Boy/ Big Boy" from his blogsite Lexuality.com.


A young gay professional, his lover, and his nephew. Three lives sewn together by fate. Little Boy Big Boy tells the tale of the carefree soul of a freelance graphic artist, RAYMUND (Paolo Rivero), and how he is filled with doubts as he is suddenly confronted with the responsibility to look after his seven-year-old nephew, ZACK (Renz Valerio).


While taking care of his nephew, he meets a closeted young man named TIM (Douglas Robinson), and the two fall in love. He educates his new lover about the importance of accepting oneself, especially at a time when prejudice against gays is still accepted as the norm. The film also tackles opposing views on fidelity in the homosexual set-up.


It also shows a gay man’s capacity to nurture; and how the homosexual is not just an organism of pleasure, but also a catalyst for unconditional love. Little Boy Big Boy is a realist window on the lives of many young Filipino gay men today. How they’ve come a long way, and how they’re slowly getting there.


I'm not a promoter of any indie films in my blog but out of courtesy, after getting free tickets, I think it's fair enough to promote this good film. I have asked Jze to come along with me to watch this film and we're good to go. What actually concerns me is the event itself as most definitely, PLUs will be the major audience. I'm not really very comfortable being in a crowd full of PLUs. Goodluck to me. Deadma na lang...
