Flashback: Sandusky, Ohio, 1984, a kinder, gentler middle America. What better setting for director David Moreton's charming and poignant coming out piece, Edge Of Seventeen?

Set in Ohio in 1984, Eric, who dresses like and listens to Boy George, has his first experience with another man. This is even more confusing because he's already almost promised himself to his best friend, Maggie, and he fears this will mean the end of them. He starts hanging out at the local gay bar, where the regulars help him find his way as he comes out. A tender, insightful look into the trials of coming out and growing up.
