Product Description
Extras: Music video for title track by Emily Jane White / Theatrical Trailer / Godly Boyish: short film by Cam Archer / Beholden: short film by Aaron Platt

Synopsis
Middle school is rarely an easy time, but it's particularly difficult for Logan (Malcolm Stumpf) in this coming-of-age film set in the 1980s. He has the requisite unrequited crush--but the object of his affection is a boy named Rodeo (Patrick White). Logan spends time with Rodeo and fellow outcast Joey (Max Paradise), but he's far from fitting in. His home isn't even a haven since his single mother (Fairuza Balk, PERSONAL VELOCITY) isn't sure what to do with her son. Logan continues to grapple with his feelings of attraction for his friend as he determines who he is. Though it shares a setting and theme with some of John Hughes's 'Brat Pack' films, WILD TIGERS I HAVE KNOWN couldn't be farther from those 1980s classics. Though there are moments of humour, this is a dark and unconventional film that exposes the isolation of growing up as an outcast. In his first starring role, Stumpf carries the film well. He ably expresses Logan's desire--both for Rodeo and for acceptance. First-time-feature director Cam Archer also wrote, edited, and produced the film, and it's a unique offering. Though there is a plot running through it, flashes of Logan's daydreams give WILD TIGERS I HAVE KNOWN a close resemblance to an art film. This independent drama isn't for those devoted to blockbusters, but it gives a convincing look at how teens cross over from innocence to maturity.

5.0 out of 5 stars "I won't let that beauty pass me by", 7 Feb 2008
By D. Elliot "Abolish the A.o.C." (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Logan is a 13 year old male living in a Santa Cruz neighbourhood. Lions have been seen in the surrounding areas, and the populace are taught to hate and fear them. Logan identifies with these maligned creatures - shunned and avoided by the rest of society. Although aware that he is gay, Logan is unable yet to voice this to his best friend; his masturbatory fantasies about older guys at school and Lycra-clad wrestlers on TV are confined to the privacy of his bed at night-time. In the course of the film, Logan develops an attraction to an older boy at school - Rodeo - who is also an outsider, and aims to seduce him through phone sex and friendship.

'Wild Tigers' is an incredibly beautiful film, in all senses. Aesthetically it is a stunning work of arthouse cinema, and was widely acclaimed at the Sundance Film Festival. The director, Cam Archer, eschews linear story-telling, and conveys Logan's internal and external struggles through a series of dream-like vignettes. Cam Archer's film background in music videos and arthouse shorts is clearly evident in his portrayal of the adolescent anguish of isolation and lust through a holistic combination of studied camera angles, a haunting soundtrack, and creative visual style. If the sweeping landscape background against static foreground images resonates, it will come as no surprise that Gus Van Sant ('My Own Private Idaho') was the film's executive producer. Malcolm Stumpf is just superb as the tortured Logan, and his awkwardness and facial expressions will deftly re-awaken memories in the viewer.

Cam Archer is certainly a name to watch; with 'Wild Tigers I Have Known' he has created a stunning and original work of art, which strides fearlessly into the realm of young male sexuality which mainstream films dare not tread. Suitable for all ages, from young males to wizened cynics, the film should be approached with an open mind, with no expectations of conventional 'story-telling'. Along with 'The Mudge Boy' and 'Ma Vie en Rose', 'Wild Tigers' is one of the very few authentic portrayals of young gay self-awareness, and is very highly recommended.

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS UK RELEASE IS ONLY FOR SQUARE TV's !!!!!! 4:3 WTF ????, 28 Feb 2009
By A. JOHNSON (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
this is an amazing film, fantastic colours, production and freshness.
unfortunately this uk version is only released in 4:3 version !
WTF !!! who releases a dvd in a version that only looks good on a square
4:3 tv ??? square tvs arent even sold anymore ?
many sites say the dvd is 16:9 , but thats wrong info.
i called up soda the distributors in uk and they took 6 days to get back to me
to tel me if it has been released in 16:9 in uk.... its hasnt !! 4:3 only.
watching this dvd on a 16:9 tv is horrible, theres thick black boarders all around the picture
and if you pan and scan to fit, it distorts the image horribly.

AND THE CHERRY ON THE CAKE ? ON THE DVD IS THE TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE IN 16:9 WHICH LOOKS WONDERFUL !!!

THE FRICKING TRAILER LOOKS BETTER THAN THE ACTUAL FILM ON THIS DVD !!
i recommend buying the usa 16:9 version and copying it to dvd without the region restriction if you want to play it in a ps3 upscaled !!!

hope this helped.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and sensible. Not simple., 17 Mar 2009
By Bert Oele (Amsterdam) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The interaction between the two guys is realy vibrating. I love to see Patrick White and Malcolm Stumpf acting. The theme is not easy. I young guy (12-13) in love with a some older guy (16-17) and doesn't know hot to expres it. I wanna say, just hold eachother, But at that age it's impossible to act as an adult. I great film about imagination, fantasy, love and trying to expres feeling. A MUST SEE I would say.
Thanks to the director and Patrick White and Malcolm Stumpf. They brought a lot of new thoughts into my mind. And thats why I like movies.
