Eager Straight Boys

When a young man turns 18, one of his first thoughts, naturally, is to do things that he had never previously been allowed to do. In the U.S., since the drinking age is 21, that leaves a horny teen with few prospects outside of voting and opening a bank account. Those are boring, but doing porn, in their minds, is anything but boring. After all, they've been jerking off to their favourite starlets and imagining themselves being the stud who is ploughing the daylights out of that hot pussy. This eagerness leads to somewhat of a delusion, as well as a blind spot. They are so convinced that they have what it takes, and so fixated upon getting a hot piece of ass, a lot of them will do almost anything to achieve their dream. And if one of these boys happens to meet a guy with a camera and a few cheap lights, then they are easy pickings.

Directed by Shane Aaron, Eager Straight Boys leans on a strong ensemble — Alex Arbor, Chance Armstrong, Shane Aaron — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2019.
