Eric Schaeffer’s new film, BOY MEETS GIRL, is a poignant, sexy, romantic coming-of-age comedy about three twenty year olds living in Kentucky: Robby, (Michael Welch, Twilight) and his best friend since childhood, Ricky, a gorgeous transgender girl, have never dated. Lamenting the lack of eligible bachelors, Ricky considers dating a girl. In walks Francesca, a beautiful young debutante waiting for her Marine fiancé to return from the war. Ricky and Francesca strike up a friendship, and maybe a little more, which forces Robby to face his true feelings for Ricky. This is a sex/human positive modern fable and identification with its story crossing all gender and sexual orientation lines. The film hopes it will help empower the TS Dating Movement that calls for more acceptance of transgender people in both day to day life and in romantic situations.
BOY MEETS GIRL lead actors Michael Welch and Michael Galante will participate in Q&A’s at the NoHo after the 7:10 PM screenings on Friday and Saturday, February 27 and 28 and after the 4:30 screening on Sunday, March 1.
