Austin Gay and Lesbian International Film Festival 2008

As the gay outcast at an all-boys prep school, Timothy (oh-so-cute Tanner Cohen) is, of course, prone to daydreaming about the handsome rugby jock. But his are no ordinary flights of fancy; they're musical theater extravaganzas, complete with show-stopping songs, dazzling sets, and pirouetting rugby player chorus boys.

So when the drama teacher invites Timothy to audition for A Midsummers' Night Dream, we know that theater is his destiny. With a voice like honey, he's cast as the mischievous Puck, and — in a delicious surprise — shares the stage with Jonathon, the aforementioned handsome jock (smoldering Nathaniel David Becker). But the rabidly anti-gay coach wants to shut down the production: some of the school's finest athletes have been cast in female roles, and what could be more hetero-threatening than that?!

Aside from Timothy's "heteroflexible" but dyke-a-licious girl-pal Frankie, this small town is teeming with homophobes. Without giving too much away, let's just say that lovestruck Timothy really gets into character and turns everything upside down.
