The Stranger in Us
The Stranger in Us is the debut feature film by American filmmaker Scott Boswell. Completed in 2010, The Stranger in Us screened at American and International film festivals and was later licensed for online viewing. .

Summary
The film looks at the emotional struggles of main character, Anthony (played by Raphael Barker, (Shortbus 2006)), an eager small-town newcomer to San Francisco. The film follows Anthony's personal journey as he deals with an abusive ex-lover and strikes up an unlikely friendship with an under-aged runaway and street hustler.

Plot
Using non-chronological storytelling, the vérité-style drama unfolds with San Francisco street life as a backdrop. The film covers roughly a year in the life of Anthony, who leaves his home and travels to San Francisco in pursuit of a relationship with slightly older and more experienced Stephen.

The story follows his on-again-off-again relationship with Stephen and his growing self discovery. Supported by his friendship with younger but somewhat more mature street-kid, Gavin (played by Adam Perez), Anthony struggles to find his way in his new city and his new life.
