3 Reasons To watch this film

"Black Sheep Boy is one of the best shorts making the '95 gay film fest circuit - having artistic links to experimental classics such as Jean Genet's Un Chant D'Amour and Kenneth Anger's Fireworks." -San Francisco Weekly
Michael Wallin's footage spans over 20 years. The Place Between Our Bodies was made in 1975. Black Sheep Boy was made in 1995.
There are plenty of nude young men - REAL BOYS fresh off the streets - on display. Michael Wallin captures sexual hunger... and it's graphic!

Review

Three short films from San Francisco independent filmmaker Wallin: Black Sheep Boy (1995, 35 min) is a voyeuristic self-reflective short centering on the pleasures and pitfalls of being attracted to much younger men. Fortyish Wallin films a series of young men (many of whom were enticed by Wallin from the streets) in erotic poses -- an alluring portrait of the fantasizer and the fantasized. Decodings (1988, 15 min) is a more abstract, non-gay experimental film about the search of identity from the documents of collective memory.
