Canadian comedy “Boys vs. Girls” from Gravitas Ventures will be available to stream on Amazon Prime in the United States & Mongrel Media on Crave in Canada on Friday, March 26th.
The story in the film is loosely inspired by writer/director Mike Stasko’s experiences going to camp as a child at YMCA Camp Kitchikewana in Northern Ontario. Set in 1990, a summer camp is forced to go co-ed for the first time for financial reasons. The counsellors don’t like the change and a battle of the sexes ensues.
Boys vs. Girls is directed by Mike Stasko (The Bird Men), and hearkens back to cherished 1990’s camp comedies starring beloved comedy icons Colin Mochrie (Whose Line is it Anyway?), Kevin McDonald (The Kids in the Hall), Eric Osborne (Degrassi), Rachel Dagenais (The Birder), Shaun Benson (Amazon’s The Boys), Dante Albidone (Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy), Leo Choy (Schitt’s Creek), and Jesse Camacho (Netflix’s Locke & Key).
“Boys vs. Girls” swept the film festival circuit including the Chicago Comedy Film Festival (Best Feature Film & Audience Choice), WorldFest Houston Film Festival (Best Comedy Feature Film), Canadian International Comedy Film Festival (Best Canadian Feature), Central Michigan International Film Festival, Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival (Best Supporting Actor – Kevin McDonald), London International Filmmakers Festival, Florida Comedy Film Festival (Best Writer, Best Ensemble Cast, & Best Supporting Actor – Colin Mochrie), and Hamilton Film Festival, among others.
