The Houseboy

Directed by Spencer Schilly

Ricky, grappling with online meets and substance abuse, contemplates suicide until an unexpected connection with another boy sparks hope and new perspectives on life.
The Houseboy is a dark, intimate drama about loneliness, rejection and the emotional risks of searching for connection. Spencer Schilly keeps the film close to its central character, and although the material is bleak, the performances give the story a raw vulnerability.
