Here's an article with an interview of the director of Homebody: http://fanbasepress.com/index.php/press/interviews/movies/item/12028-fanbase-press-interviews-joseph-sackett-on-the-upcoming-release-of-the-film-homebody

The director mentioned he did a short film with the same actors which is like a prequel to the movie called I Was In Your Blood. I feel like this is like a teaser/trailer to the movie.

Thanks for sharing. That interview convinced me to get a virtual ticket. Didn't realize the writer/director was also genderqueer.

@Guest Yes, I think that's the movie - Wish it was a higher quality recording though :(

From: guest (Homelander) , 41 months, post #27

Wow, is that the actress for Amazon The Boys series?

From: guest (Question) , 41 months, post #28

Did someone record the whole movie and not only the 6 mins from youtube?

From: guest , 41 months, post #29

I wish I could see it, but sadly the ticket could only be paid in dollar for :( I hope it will be available somewhere sometime.

Recording and sharing the full movie would be pirating. I get pirating when it comes to big studio motion pictures, but when it comes to small indie films pirating hurts the creators a lot more

From: guest (B) , 41 months, post #32

Hmmm but no one cares about what you think

From: guest (Pirate) , 41 months, post #33

agree with B

From: guest (Bob) , 41 months, post #34

Strongly Agree with Valkan

From: ColoradoDog , 41 months, post #35

Thank you @guest. And I agree with @B and @Pirate

From: guest , 41 months, post #36

I agree with you, Valkan. But I also can understand that people want to see it and it is currently not available worldwide, however I hope that will change somehow

From: guest (Tights) , 41 months, post #37

I also agree with B. I really can't stand those people on their moral highgrounds thinking they are some sort of gandhi for not pirating shit. Also, thank you for posting the link post #30.

From: guest (B) , 41 months, post #38

Thanks for support it is very convenient to stand on moral high ground say that

Okay, I finished watching it, here are some of my thoughts:

Edited: Holy shit this end up getting bigger than I expected.

First of all, the quality of the movie, like the shooting and acting, was all pretty solid. I say that because, I imagine that the budget wasn't that big, although you couldn't tell this at all by just watching the film. It was really well-edited, and the actors had pretty good performances, the director was really smart and able to navigate through budget limitations and create an indie movie that doesn't feel cheap at all (unlike many many many movies that people post here addressing similar themes). The dynamic and acting between the babysitter and the little boy was so smooth, there was some sort of chemistry going on between them.

About the idea in itself, I always find it interesting when directors address the body swap/body possession/gender-bender thematic, etc... in an unconventional way, in a manner that differs from the "Freak Friday-like" clichés.

Movies like "Prelude to a Kiss" for instance did that pretty well, and here they certainly were able to achieve that, in my humble opinion. There was some sort of slightly comic surrealism in the whole thing, a fantasy-like vibe, like the whole thing was a fairy tale or a lucid dream. This was probably aided by the soundtrack which is so present in the movie, almost as if it were a character in itself, like you really feel it, it is there, it is present. The music genre itself also reminded me of "Pushing Daisies", actually the storytelling in itself reminded me of "Pushing Daisies", there is a fantasy-like feeling in the music and narrative that evoke it (maybe the fact that "Pushing Daisies" was also a show dealing with fantasy and magic helped me to make this association).

It's also interesting how they didn't mind explaining that much about how and why the possession happened, oftentimes this gets under my skin, but I think just saying "well, it was magic" really suits the dream-like film narrative and make us to focus on what matters here, which is primarily the boy's perspective. Which is also why I think it was interesting that they made this a body possession film rather than a body swap (even though I most of the time prefer body swap films). You didn't have to worry and waste time with the woman trapped in the little boy' body exploring her reality and yadda yadda, which would only take time from the film telling the story of the main character.

I absolutely loved how the little boy explores his own... I don't know... his own gender identity/sexuality, I think (I mean, he clearly seems to – at the very least – fantasize with the idea of being a girl), and he sorta explorers his questions and gender identity/sexuality through his babysitter's body. The boy seems to love his babysitter while at the same time... wanting to be her or to be like her and, well, to me this really hit home. Maybe I'm just projecting, but if you ever heard about "Autoginefilia" you probably saw this feeling in the boy… and these aspects definitely resonate with me, cause that's how I felt towards women throughout all my life, that's how I felt towards women until this very day: “a mist between desire and envy.”

I loved how attention to details the director was, especially when the boy goes up dressing himself with his mum's clothes. He dresses himself particularly fancy in a mature way, like, for instance, you see that his wearing nude pantyhose. This was such an interesting well-thought detail cause, most women don't wear nude stockings these days – sadly – maybe only if they really want to dress up and go somewhere fancy. But regardless, there's a feminine charm around them... like if you had to choose one clothing item to represent femininity, this would probably be a pair of nude pantyhose. Maybe I'm just reading too much, but it was a pretty nice detail. The sort of details so deep that... I wouldn't be surprised if the director itself had examined or questioned his own gender. If he didn't, he did his homework pretty well.

Also, interestingly, you usually don't see this sort of approach of a boy – whether through body swap or body possession – waking up in the body of a grown woman. In other words, you don't have that many movies showing both GENDER and AGE being changed. Previously, you have movies like "Lyubov-Morkov 2", where the parents and their kids switch bodies, but the feeling and the movie narrative is totally "Freaky Friday-ish", also you don't have the change of gender there; the daughter switch bodies with the mother and the boy switch bodies with the father. And, of course, somewhat more rarely, you have movies of little boys and little girls switching bodies, such as the German film "Hilfe, ich bin ein Junge" (another honorary mention here would be "Shishunki Bitter Change", which also has a nice concept, but it's a manga)

Anyway, going back to "HomeBody", listen, I will be straight with you, I usually watch this sort of movies to jerk off. And, well I did, a lot, especially in the scene showing him inside his babysitter's body trying out his mum's clothes, but what I'm trying to say here is that this was an honest good to earth movie, the sort of thing that even people who don't have this kink could and probably would appreciate.

All in all, this movie made me think of how underexplored current stories of body swap/body possession/etc.. are, at least talking about the stories being told in mainstream pop culture. You have great concepts going around, especially in fanfic, mangas, and other somewhat niche outlets, like "The Great Shift" concept for instance, it would be pretty interesting if someone brought those same concepts and ideas to more films and TV shows.

To finish it off, if you have money, and you can buy this film, I would definitely recommend you to buy it, the director definitely deserves it. Also, best movie scene by far:
