Billy Porter To Direct ‘Camp’ For HBO Max And Warner Bros
EXCLUSIVE: Billy Porter has come on board to direct the feature adaptation of Camp for HBO Max and Warner Bros. Oscar winner Dan Jinks is producing through The Dan Jinks Company, and Robert O’Hara is rewriting the screenplay by Kit Williamson, which is based on the YA novel by Lev Rosen.
The film follows 16-year-old Randy Kapplehoff, who loves spending the summer at Camp Outland, a camp for queer teens. It’s where he met his best friends. It’s where he takes to the stage in the big musical. And it’s where he fell for Hudson Aaronson-Lim – who’s only into straight-acting guys and barely knows not-at-all-straight-acting Randy even exists. Randy reinvents himself over the summer as Del, a buff, masculine and on-the-market camper. Even if it means giving up show tunes, nail polish and his unicorn bedsheets, he’s determined to get Hudson to fall for him. But as he and Hudson grow closer, Randy has to ask himself how much he is willing to change for love. And is it really love anyway, if Hudson doesn’t know who he truly is?

Local boy, went to the same high school as I did (not at the same time ). He comes back here often and does lots of good stuff for the community. Good guy.

I saw him last night on the 90th birthday tribute to Carol Burnett. He and Bernadette Peters sang "Easy Street" from "Annie".

These are all vintage brooches. I meant to get a closeup, but I apparently didn't.
