Boy

Short Film (Full Length) – 2004

RP16
Restricted
A haunting, visually inventive tale about coming of age and into sexuality.
– Filmmaker Magazine
In the silence of my childhood there were no angels.
– Text from the film
I approached Boy as a typographer and illustrator, not as a filmmaker. That in itself was unconventional … the result is a visually intense film that deals with an aspect of New Zealand society seldom discussed. I really wanted to offer something new to film and its success vindicates the approach I took.
– Writer/director Welby Ings on Boy
