Reviews
Franky
This short was popular on the 2007 film fest circuit and was made part of the "Boys Briefs 5: Schoolboys" short film collection released in 2008. I thought it was well done for a short. The central character is coming to terms with the fact that he is gay, but has not told his friends yet. His friends are guessing that he is gay and try to find out during a drunken game in which they go off in pairs based on cards drawn.
You've reached the end.
