Mateo's fears of getting older manifest as his 46 birthday looms, and all the hours in the gym and miracle elixirs can't stop the ticking clock. Except for one. A Taste of Youth is the world's first queer, fat-positive horror feature film, from the twisted mind of Joshua R. Pangborn and SideKick Productions. Starring Mark-Eugene Garcia, and co-directed by Pangborn and Nakia, filmed by Catalin Stelian, with special makeup effects by Paul Antzoulis and featuring original music and music supervision by Nakia.

Principal photography wrapped on A Taste Of Youth on June 19th, 2022. The film is currently in post-production and we are seeking additional funding and distribution.
