Gay short – Fishbelly White (1998)

on

“Fishbelly White” chronicles the rural isolation of childlike Duncan (Mickey Smith), who’s been lonely since his mother’s death. Because his care-worn father ignores him, Darren befriends the farm animals and adopts a chicken as his pet. Abused by his own father, an older adolescent named Perry (Jason Hayes) takes a shine to the outcast. Proclaiming they aren’t gay, Darren and Perry suppress a mutual attraction that would outrage Perry’s macho friends. Directed by Michael Burke.

This short stori inspired The mudge boy movie.
