Synopsis

Set in rural New Zealand in the drought-parched summer of 1975, gay-themed feature film 50 Ways of Saying Fabulous follows a chubby 12-year-old named Billy (Andrew Paterson) as he embarks on a challenging journey of sexual discovery. Adapting Graeme Aitken's novel, writer/director, Stewart Main depicts an emotionally immature world where Billy learns about himself, his sexuality, and dealing with change.
