Queer Coming of Age Rom Com from a Story by Josh O'Connor

From Sunrise Films February 11, 2025

Los Angeles, CA-- Sunrise Films, the new US arm of Vertigo Release is set to release the charming, coming-of-age queer romantic comedy Bonus Track on Cable VOD and Digital HD platforms on February 11th, 2025.

The feature debut from director Julia Jackman, written by Mike Gilbert, was based on a story by Gilbert and Josh O’Connor (Challengers, La Chimera). Bonus Track stars rising talent Joe Anders (1917) and Samuel Small (So Awkward). The film follows a 16-year old budding musician George (Anders), who meets popular new student Max (Small), the son of a famous musical duo, when he enrolls in his class. As the boys grow closer preparing for the year-end talent show, their unlikely friendship develops into something quite unexpected.

A winning ensemble including Ray Panthaki (Boiling Point), Susan Wokoma (Enola Holmes), Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean), Alison Sudol (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), and O’Connor in a cameo role round out the cast.

Bonus Track is a Sky, Bankside Films and Erebus Pictures production produced by Stephanie Aspin, Helen Simmons and Campbell Beaton.

It’s 2006, and George - a small-town sixteen-year old - is on the road to complete social and academic failure. He dreams of being a star, knows he’s a gifted musician - but no one else seems to agree...

So, when Max - the son of a mega-famous musical duo - enrolls at his school and takes an interest in his music, George can’t believe it! Neither can anyone else. But as the boys grow closer, George begins to question why he actually wants to spend time with Max... George is faced with a potential dream come true - if he can just figure out what that dream now really is…
