SNEAK PREVIEW! Ambitious high school athlete Dakota Riley has spent years living within carefully designed boundaries and orchestrating a future in college football. But all of that begins to unravel when he witnesses some campus bullying and starts to question his sexual identity. Featuring a break-out performance by Jake Holley and an impressive supporting cast, Riley is a contemplative coming-of-age film that evokes the anguish of one’s teenage years. Eschewing standard cliches, first-time feature director Benjamin Howard presents a nuanced examination of the murky but impenetrable line between queer love and fraternal brotherhood that breaks down common stereotypes and encourages us to live life as our most authentic selves.
Director Benjamin Howard will be in conversation at the screening.
