You have no idea how
excited I am about today's interview! Thanks to
Egmont UK and
Peccadillo Pictures, who are working together to promote YA novel
Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan and teen comedy
G.B.F., I was offered the amazing opportunity to interview Director
Darren Stein, and watch an advanced DVD of G.B.F. So awesome! I cannot tell you how chuffed I am to have been able to interview Darren!
Two Boys Kissing is about two teen guys trying to break the world record for the longest kiss to bring attention to gay rights. G.B.F. is about three Queen Bees fighting over Tanner when he's accidentally outed by his best friend, as having a Gay Best Friend is the new "thing".
I can't tell you just how funny G.B.F. is, and so important! It's absolutely incredible! Watch the trailer, then read on for the interview!
Hi Darren! Thank you so much for the opportunity to interview you about your latest teen movie,G.B.F. G.B.F. is a standout movie; hilarious, but also current and very relevant. I loved it!
Can you tell us a little about your history as a director?
I’ve been making films since I was a kid. I remember when my Dad brought home his first camcorder in 1981 or so. I was 10 and I couldn’t wait to start making films. My father ran a motion picture film lab that his parents started as a camera shop in the 60s. Cinema became my form of story-telling because I was so familiar with it as the family business.

Movie Review: G.B.F. (advanced viewing) - G.B.F is a comedy in the vein of MEAN GIRLS and CLUELESS and centres around Tanner and Brent, two gay best friends. Brent longs for the spotlight and believes that coming out will make him instantly popular as North Gateway High’s very first G.B.F. (or Gay Best Friend). Tanner on the other hand, would rather fly under the radar and finish high school without ever being noticed.
