A provocative 19-minute short from director Micah Stuart and screenwriter/lead actor Brandon Crowder, Johnny follows a lonely and conflicted older man named Sam who hires a young male sex worker named Johnny to spend the night with him in a motel room and provide his first gay sexual experience.
A devoted husband and father, he has has spent his entire life trying to outrun his sexual attraction to other men, carefully constructing a heteronormative life he hoped would make him happy. But the harder Sam tries to force himself to be the man he believes he should be, the harder it is for him to resist becoming the man he’s secretly always been.
As it turns out, Sam is not the only one with a secret – and the intimate night the two men share forces Johnny to come face-to-face with a haunting moment from his past that he thought he’d left behind.
Tense, well-acted and thought-provoking, Johnny is a story about finding the strength and courage it takes to accept responsibility for the choices you have made… and the person you have become.
