Syd Stone (Travis Nelson), the title character of the feature film I Am Syd Stone, is a hunky former A-List actor whose once-promising career has hit a major slump.
Syd now finds himself in a small town, reluctantly shooting a B-movie. While getting drunk in a hotel bar, he forms an almost instant connection with Matt (Benjamin Charles Watson), a young lawyer on the verge of his biggest case yet.
Despite pressure from his representatives to hide his sexuality for the sake of his career, Syd and Matt soon become more than just friends. An intense affair ensues, putting Syd’s personal life and career in jeopardy.
Originally created as a six-episode web series and based on an acclaimed 2014 short film of the same name, I Am Syd Stone has been edited into a stellar feature by director Denis Theriault.
A sexy and thoughtful coming-out romance featuring moving performances from handsome lead actors Travis Nelson and Benjamin Charles Watson, the film offers up a heartfelt exploration of two troubled souls finding comfort in one another and, together, finally learning to live authentically.
