Dylan O’Brien’s latest film is here, with “Ponyboi” officially beginning its theatrical run on Friday.
Directed by Esteban Arango, the film tells the story of a young intersex sex worker who has to flee from the mob after a drug deal goes sideways, and stars River Gallo alongside O’Brien. As it happens, Gallo also created and wrote the story.
“‘Ponyboi’ will not only empower the intersex community, but all marginalized people,” Gallo said. “My goal is to make a film for BIPOC, the LGBTQIA+ community, and anyone who has ever felt they didn’t belong.”
