Blue Film, the provocative debut from director Elliot Tuttle, has officially secured a theatrical release after being deemed “too much” for several major festivals. Now, the film that distributors once hesitated to touch is heading into theaters this May — and it’s bringing all of its raw, complicated storytelling with it.
“I don’t think I thought that it was gonna be as controversial as it was, which is kind of foolish in retrospect,” actor Reed Birney says.”
At the center of Blue Film is Aaron Eagle, a camboy and sex worker played by Kieron Moore, who agrees to spend the night with an older client. What begins as a transactional encounter quickly spirals into something far more layered — and unsettling — as the two men uncover a shared history that neither can ignore.
In theaters May 8th.
