This week on Out Takes we turned our attention to modern coming out and coming of age cinema: think queer indie flicks like CALL ME BY YOUR NAME and 1985 and commercial hits like LOVE SIMON.

Our guest was , the director of GIANT LITTLE ONES, which sold out when it screened at this year’s Mardi Gras Film Festival and screens later this month at the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival. GIANT LITTLE ONES tells the story of two best friends who discover their lives, families, and girlfriends dramatically upended after an unexpected sexual encounter on the night of a 17th birthday party. We spoke with Behrman about his joyous new film, and how new queer coming of age films are reflecting a modern sexual sensibility.
