A for Effort, F for F#ck it | Winner of Comedy Vangaurd Award at Austin Film Festival 2022
The Library Boys offers a fresh, universal take on the classic coming-of-age story. Zane (Jack Kenny), James (Joe Kenny) and Mitch (Uisce Goriss-Dazeley), a “Bully”, a “Stoner” and a “Nerd”, are about to graduate from high school. Lifelong friends, they are met head-on with the challenges of entering adulthood; Zane becomes infatuated with Becca (Enna Blake), the new girl at school, James’ long-term girlfriend Beth (Mia Barrett) is pushing for him to quit smoking bongs and finally grow up when he meets Charlie (Paige Joustra) an upbeat, fellow stoner, live-your-best-life type, meanwhile Mitch is just determined to lose his virginity and somehow becomes involved with Tilly (Megan Douglas), the most popular girl in school. Exploring the ups and downs of adolescence's struggles with identity and the importance of friendship, The Library Boys is an honest, heartfelt portrayal of high school life in the final year.Writer and Director: ZANE BORG
