Loverboy

By Drew Paryzer
Directed by Jess Shoemaker

Loverboy finally returns home: to his childhood home and to his mother. His youth is gone, but there are still many things to be raised within the walls of his strangely powerful bedroom. 

The running time for Loverboy is approximately one hour and thirty-five minutes.

Loverboy contains mature content.
