BEACH LOGS KILL, directed by Haley Z. Boston, is a surreal journey through a teen girl’s intense and heightened reality, where her crush on her school’s celebrated quarterback (also a girl) spirals into a hallucinogenic exploration of q***r desire.
The film asks the classic question that many young q***r individuals face: do I want to be them, or be with them? This question, and the film itself, resists clear-cut answers, embracing the complexities and ambiguities of identity, life, and attraction.
