PUT THE CAMERA ON ME
Dir: Darren Stein & Adam Shell, USA, 2003, Beta SP, 70 mins
When Darren Stein’s parents let him use their video camera from age 7, a wild creativity was unleashed. Darren and his posse of childhood friends staged scenes of Nazi death camp torture, child abuse, murder, nuclear holocaust, gay-bashing and other sundry mayhems. This captivating film is full of excerpts from their creations as well as interviews with the now grown stars. It’s a priceless, often hilarious record of one unabashed queerboy’s obsessions.
