Photographer Josh Aronson embarks on a years-long journey, bringing together strangers in Florida’s wild spaces to stage fleeting, cinematic moments that blur the line between performance and authenticity. What starts as a creative experiment in group portraiture evolves into an exploration of identity, connection, and the unexpected bonds that form in unfamiliar places—all leading to a moment where his vision is realized on a scale he never anticipated.

'Florida Boys' is screening with:

Subtropic (Shorts Block)
