    Part of
  • BAM Film 2024
  • and
  • Queering the Canon: Besties
Directed by Campbell X (2012)
With T'Nia Miller, Kyle Treslove, Robyn Kerr

Virtual Exclusive

Campbell X’s London-set Stud Life is a sexy, young and cool look at a slice of British urban life—a postmodern, queer She’s Gotta Have It for the YouTube generation. JJ (charismatic British star T’nia Miller) is a hot black British 'Stud' and together with her best friend, a white gay pretty boy named Seb, they work as wedding photographers and run around the urban London LGBTQ+ scene. When JJ falls in love with a beautiful and mysterious woman, JJ and Seb's friendship is tested. JJ is forced to choose between her hot new lover and her best friend. Stud Life is a provocative and edgy take on gender, sexuality, and urban street life as it also portrays a wonderful tale of love and friendship.

Queering the Canon: Besties is presented in partnership with NewFest.
