What happens

Wild Tigers I Have Known is a 2006 coming of age drama film written, edited, produced, and directed by Cam Archer and starring Malcolm Stumpf, Patrick White, Max Paradise, Fairuza Balk, Kim Dickens, and Tom Gilroy. The film follows Logan, a lonely 13-year-old, as he comes to terms with his sexual identity, the hell of middle school, wild mountain lions, and life with his single mother. The film premiered at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival and was given a limited release by IFC Films on February 28, 2007. The IFC-released version had a shorter runtime than the one shown at Sundance. In 2021, an updated Blu-ray of the film was released that honored Archer's original cut of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
