"Get Real"
1998
Directed by Simon Shore

A gay English teenager struggles with coming of age and coming out of the closet, trying to attain his first boyfriend while also dealing with fear and gay-bashing at school. "...a far more realistic and compelling vision of teen-age growing pains and peer pressure than any of the recent high-school movies from Hollywood" (Stephen Holden, New York Times). Based on Patrick Wilde's play, What's Wrong with Angry? Audience Award winner at the Edinburgh Film Festival. 111 minutes.
