What happens

DINX is a Canadian short comedy film, directed by Trevor Anderson and released in 2008. The film stars Farren Timoteo as Zack, a young man who works as a shooter boy in a gay strip club but is dissatisfied with his job and aspires to be allowed to perform as a stripper; when called to the office by his boss, however, he unexpectedly finds himself transported, still clad in go-go shorts and carrying a shooter tray, back in time to childhood to revisit the day when he tried to protect himself from bullying by taking the blame when his school's two main troublemakers spray-painted "DINX" on the school wall. The film had its premiere screening at the National Screen Institute in early 2008, and was screened at the Metro Cinema Edmonton on March 6, before going into wider distribution on the LGBTQ film festival circuit.
