An unexpected crush turns a camping trip into a weekend of self-discovery in this funny, tender and heartwarming coming-of-age story. Jamie (newcomer Isaac Krasner) is the kind of 14-year-old who reads Mastering the Art of French Cooking for fun and makes sure to pack a first aid kit wherever he goes. But he’s excited for a weekend in the woods with his brother and beloved cousin Allie, until Allie ruins everything by bringing along her new boyfriend, Dan. However, Jamie’s initial jealousy of the competent and confident Dan quickly turns into a friendship as they bond over cooking, games and both being ‘big boys’. But as the weekend progresses, despite Jamie’s brother’s attempts to set him up with a girl staying at the campsite, all Jamie wants to do is hang out with Dan. As his burgeoning crush gets him into awkward scrapes and arguments, Jamie begins to come to terms with who he is, and who he desires. Also starring Emily Deschanel (Bones), Taj Cross (PEN15), and Dora Madison (Friday Night Lights). (Dir. by Corey Sherman, 2023, USA, 90 mins., Not Rated)
