Obscured Sets May 8 Release for Provocative Indie ‘Blue Film’ as First Trailer Debuts

The trailer launch signals a limited theatrical push for a taboo‑testing debut.

Overview

  • Obscured Releasing unveiled the first trailer and set a May 8 U.S. theatrical opening for Blue Film.
  • Elliot Tuttle’s debut centers on a fetish camboy who spends a night with an older client he recognizes as a former teacher.
  • Kieron Moore stars opposite Reed Birney, who also produced the two‑actor chamber drama with Mark Duplass credited as consulting producer.
  • The film premiered at the 2025 Edinburgh International Film Festival and later at NewFest, with reports saying Sundance, SXSW, and Frameline passed on it.
  • Obscured Releasing calls the film daring and provocative, and the limited rollout could gauge whether theaters will make space for challenging LGBTQ stories.
