"I want to get to know you... I like that you're different." Tideline has revealed an official trailer for an indie drama titled Ponyboi, the second feature film from director Esteban Arango following his debut Blast Beat a few years ago. This initially premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival last year, and played at the Torino Film Festival (where it won Best Performance) and BFI Flare in London. Unfolding over the course of Valentine’s Day in New Jersey, a young intersex sex worker must run from the mob after a drug deal goes sideways, forcing him to confront his past.
