The movie left me in tears by the end. What man likes to admit that, but what the heck, it's true!

So, I was going to watch last episode of Season 4 Game of Thrones, when I got an email form a friend to checkout this movie. It was daytime, so I decided I'll watch this movie and do something "on the side". But did I? I just couldn't stop myself once I started and dedicatedly watched the entire movie.

It's a very good movie about discovering and re-discovering, but never giving up. The movie is very well shot, well edited and very well written & directed. Director & writer Eric Schaeffer has created tight scenes with beautiful dialogues (or lack of it, when not needed) supported by some great performances by all the cast members. Michelle Hendley, Michael Welch, Alexandra Turshen, Michael Galante, Randall Newsome amongst others have given great performances. Michelle is quite mature as an actress in her debut role. Both 'Michaels' have given good depth to quite complex roles, specially Welch.

The movie is not only entertaining with good drama and humor, but also leaves you with a great message. Message of love, faith in yourself, acceptance and perseverance. It's definitely a must watch LGBT movie of the year!

More from the filmmakers:

Wolfe Video releases  BOY MEETS GIRL 4/7 on VOD and 4/28 on DVD, starring newcomer trans actress Michelle Hendley in a debut role as a young transwoman navigating Southern life and looking for romance - from men and women - in her small Kentucky hometown. Film was written and directed by veteran NYC independent filmmaker Eric Schaeffer (IF LUCY FELL, NEVER AGAIN).

BOY MEETS GIRL is an authentic Southern romantic-comedy starring the newcomer Michelle Hendley as Ricky, a young transwoman trying to navigate life and looking for romance in her small Kentucky hometown. Will she find love with the beautiful rich girl Francesca (Alexandra Turshen, RED OAKS) or with her lifelong best pal Robby (Michael Welch, TWILIGHT franchise)? Authentically written and directed by accomplished indie filmmaker Eric Schaeffer (IF LUCY FELL starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Ben Stiller, Elle Macpherson, NEVER AGAIN starring Jeffrey Tambor and Jill Clayburgh), BOY MEETS GIRL simultaneously exemplifies and transcends the category of "LGBT film" to present the very human story of the blurry and complicated lines between friendship and romance, gender and sexuality.

Said writer-director Eric Schaeffer, "In making this film, I wanted everyone--regardless of gender (cis or trans) or sexual orientation to have a chance to identify with the film's themes of wanting to be unconditionally loved and accepted for who we are. The message in this film is the same as in all my work: labeling leaves no room for who we really are, or how we really experience life. I think our only chance is to bury those labels forever in favor of a singular new one: human. Hate is easy.  The real courage is in love."

BOY MEETS GIRL completed its theatrical run in February 2015 and garnered numerous awards on the film festival circuit, including Best Feature at the Teaneck International Film Festival, the prestigious Iris Prize Festival and the Memphis Gay & Lesbian Film Festival. The film also picked up multiple awards at FilmOut San Diego, sweeping up nearly every jury award for which it was eligible at the 2014 festival - nabbing statues for Best Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor. Hendley also won the Programming Award for Outstanding Emerging Talent.
