CGiii Comment
Not quite sure why there are writing credits - there is no commentary, no apparent input from the 'writers'...apart from numerous simulated scenes that are wholly unnecessary.
It does come over as a vanity project or, an end-of-the-year college project. The constant shift between B&W and colour is as distracting as the excessive frilly editing and flippant camera work.
Male prostitution is a subject that films student leap on...almost all, without exception, fail.
There is something suspiciously wrong...in places, it seems scripted - so, perhaps, the writers did deserve the credit.
Dispensable, disposable, derelict...Walker has gone on to do nothing else.
No trailer...

Inside Boystown is an intimate portrait of the lives of six male prostitutes who work the streets in Vancouver's chic Yaletown neighborhood. It blends interviews with the boys with commentary from three support workers who explain the dynamics of male street prostitution.
The film provides an honest and forthright look at a commonly hidden aspect of contemporary society.
