You know who they are: guys with close - cropped haircuts, buffed shaved bodies. Boys who are into the circuit scene...a brotherhood... a total roving party from one city to the next. Within the glorious puddles of men are individuals with stories to tell: why they love the circuit, how they got there, and what happens after the music ends.

When Boys Fly is a sexy, lively reality-based film that follows four such men at the 2000 Miami White Party:

  • Tone, 21, is an outgoing biology student with a substance abuse problem.
  • Brandon, 23, is a circuit party virgin who is close to his mom and doesn't do .
  • Todd, 35, is twinkie-loving circuit veteran who brings past and present boyfriends to the party.
  • Jon, 19, is Todd's newest lover and wonders if their relationship will survive the scene.

Away from the ecstasy of the dance floor, When Boys Fly examines a unique breed who lives for the perfect party.

You know who they are - it's those guys with the close-cropped haircuts, buff shaved bodies, piercings and tribal tattoos in all the right places. It's those hunks who are into the circuit party scene... it's a brotherhood... it's a total roving part... Read More

This has to be one of the most provocative docudrama, true-to-life films, to come out, depicting the live-for-today-only, circuit party, generation of young men and the utter depths of usage, that has taken place. Current usage even at rec... Read More

I will never see a circuit party in this lifetime, but this movie (or documentary) as well as the movie Circuit gave me the full feeling of what it would be like to go to one. I'm gay, open but at 54 yrs old I don't think I should take my shirt off i... Read More

This documentary has a very interesting story. It engages the viewers' attentions from the beginning until the end. I hope the producers will create a sequence but this time it will be "a much more naughtier circuit party". Too bad Fire Island Mor... Read More

WBF is a sometimes funny, sometimes disturbing, but always engrossing docu of the annual Circuit Party held in Miami Beach. The film does an excellent job of using the Circuit scene as a microcosm of contemporary gay culture. It's subjects are so int... Read More

What happens when you take a handful of guys, mix them with thousands of well built, extremely attractive men, throw in some glamour , sex and add a pulsating soundtrack? "When Boys Fly".

In this latest release to dvd, "When Boys Fly"... Read More

Surprisingly engaging and fascinating, candid, shocking and sometimes sad peek through the looking glass to see what really goes on at "gay raves," aka circuit parties. The filmmakers did a great job in showing us the world in which this segment of ... Read More

I am an avid DVD collector and having seen this film in two different film festivals I can't wait to own it. There were so many of my friends who couldn't get tickets to see it in the festivals, now we can have a little party and watch it. We were ... Read More

The unfiltered truth about what can and does go on at Circuit events. I like how the movie told each of the guy's stories from before the events, during parties and the aftermath. Solid production values, edgy camera work and clever editing makes "... Read More

As a straight man moving to LA, I learned a lot about the gay culture very quickly. After 10 years, "When Boys Fly" let me know in detail exactly how much i didn't know! Powerful stuff

Rolov and Halpern have made a beautiful and powerful film with "When Boys Fly." I had never thought of the world of gay circuit parties as something I would find particularly intriguing, yet this film answered questions I didn't even know I had. A m... Read More

front to back one of the best documentaries and one of the best productions ever done on gay men... my only complaint: too short. Every gay man must see to understand themselves.
