Writer/Director Ty Hodges stars as Hunter, a freewheeling artist navigating heartbreak, addiction, and L.A.’s impossibly hip gallery scene. After refusing to sell a painting to an eager buyer, a chance encounter leads him to Ruby (Olivia Culpo), a gorgeous and successful Instagram influencer reeling from the recent death of her father. Polar opposites attract and after spending an intimate weekend together, Hunter’s life is completely enmeshed with Ruby’s. Is Ruby the change Hunter needs or is he falling back into old habits?

Infused with surrealistic sequences shot in the California desert, Venus as a Boy offers a personal and poetic examination of masculine and feminine, ego and alter ego.

Venus As A Boy was originally released under Tidetivity’s former banner (We The People LLC).
