The Boys Outside is intended to be a simple, slice-of-life prologue that supports the world-building for the character of Toine that includes the visual expression “Look at Toine” and a feature film in development featuring these same characters.

This film is a love letter to those hot, humid North Carolina Summers. The nostalgia and lingo from the early 2000s. The inner child of us all.

Love, A.J
