Coming-of-age stories are a dime a dozen in Hollywood, but Keith Behrman&rsquo;s Giant Little Ones goes beyond the expected narrative tropes. Behrman was inspired to create the film after a string of suicides in 2013 by Canadian youths who had experienced harassment at school for being gay or for being perceived as such. Described by Variety as a &ldquo;Canadian seriocomedy,&rdquo;&nbsp;Giant Little Ones stars Houston native Josh Wiggins as Franky Winter, a teenager whose life changes drastically after a sexual encounter with his best friend after a raucous 17th birthday party.

While the feature focuses primarily on discrimination against members of the LGBTQIA+ community, it explores more than that, weaving a common thread between the high school experiences of marginalized teens of all types.

&ldquo;It&rsquo;s about navigating high school and navigating growing up, and having people say things about you and hearing all the things that can get spread around,&rdquo; Wiggins has stated. &ldquo;[It&rsquo;s] something that everybody can relate to.&rdquo;

Wiggins&rsquo;s touching performance makes you want so badly to root for the kid from start to finish. And without spoiling too much, he makes you proud in the end.
