Megan Mullally, Paul Iacono and Michael
J. Willett star in the teen comedy GBF, which premieres next
month at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City.
In the film, Tanner (played by Willett)
and Brent (Iacono) are closeted best friends.
Brent believes coming out gay will make
him instantly popular, while Tanner is trying to get through high
school without being noticed.
When Brent's plan to out himself and
become the hottest must-have teen girl “accessory,” the gay best
friend, goes wrong and Tanner is outed instead, the pair go from best
friends to instant frenemies.
The school's most popular girls –
played by Sasha Pieterse, Xosha Roquemore and Andrea Bowen – launch
an all-out social war to win Tanner's friendship in an effort to
boost their own status.
Megan Mullally (Will & Grace)
plays Brent's overly accepting mother.
The film is from director Darren Stein
(Jawbreaker) and writer George Northy. (A behind-the-scenes
