In & Out

A midwestern teacher's quiet life is turned upside down when a former student outs him as gay on national television, prompting a media frenzy and forcing him to question his own identity just days before his wedding. The film follows Howard Brackett's journey of self-discovery and acceptance as he navigates the challenges of coming out in a small town with a backdrop of the Academy Awards ceremony. With its blend of humor and heart, In & Out became one of mainstream Hollywood's first attempts at a comedic "gay movie" and paved the way for future LGBTQ+ representation on screen.
