into the conception, casting, and the putting together of the film.

The second feature is interviews with Brocka and actors Patrick Bachau, Darryl Stephens, Derek Magyar, and Jonathon Trent. Each of them provides fairly lengthy but highly engaging accounts of their experiences of working on the film.

The third feature is footage shot from Boy Culture’s premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, including during the question and answer session with Brocka, Pierce, Magyar, and Trent. While rather amateurishly shot, it provides a great window into the going-ons of the film’s premiere. Rounding out the special features are two deleted scenes cut from the final film that, while interesting, reveal their non-essentiality.

Boy Culture’s rather frank eroticism may be a little much for some non-gay viewers. However, that very sheer honesty in how it tells its story coupled with great characters makes it a highly fascinating view. It’s highly recommended for anybody looking for a window into just how complex finding love as a gay man in modern America can be.
