Punks

The film takes place in West Hollywood. At the centre of the story are four friends. All four are Black gay men in their twenties. Marcus is a photographer. He takes pictures of men. In matters of love he is a dreamer. He cannot turn the stories he imagines into anything real. Hill, Crystal and Dante are his close circle. The four of them meet at a bar and pass the time. Each of them is looking for someone in his own way. Then a new neighbour moves in next to Marcus. The man’s name is Darby. Darby is not gay but behaves warmly towards Marcus. That puts Marcus in a difficult position. Seth Gilliam and Rockmond Dunbar appear in the hundred and five minute film, an American production Patrik-Ian Polk finished in 2000.
