Feature Film by Ricardo Bouyett
Lovesick writer Jacob finds unexpected salvation in Anthony, a magnetic photographer whose work is as seductive as it is unsettling. Their passion ignites fast, and Jacob becomes both lover and muse, until Anthony’s new project spirals into a violent exploration of beauty, death, and male vulnerability. As Anthony brings in go-go dancers and ex-lovers to pose for increasingly extreme portraits, Jacob realizes the studio has become a trap: a labyrinth of red fabric and manipulation where art and harm collapse into one another. When Jacob’s ex disappears after meeting Anthony, the truth surfaces—love has turned predatory, and Jacob must fight to free himself before he becomes the final piece in Anthony’s masterpiece.
Based on the world of I Would Be The Bullet, the feature film One Of Your Boys expands on Jacob and Anthony’s blossoming relationship. It follows it to its deadly fruition, swallowing audiences whole in the thrilling turmoil of the couple’s struggle for control and admiration.
