Alex and the Handyman

The film follows nine-year-old Alex as he develops a crush on Jared, the twenty-five-year-old handyman at his mansion. Set against the backdrop of a seemingly ordinary household, the story navigates the complexities of young love and the innocence of childhood.

With a focus on LGBT themes, Alex and the Handyman offers a poignant look at the formative experiences that shape our understanding of affection and attraction. The performance by Keaton Nigel Cooke as Alex adds depth to this heartfelt narrative, making it a noteworthy piece in the short film genre.

Produced by Peccadillo Pictures, the film contributes to the ongoing conversation around representation in media, particularly in the context of coming-of-age stories. Collectors interested in LGBT narratives or short films may find this title particularly appealing.
