The boys are not alright.
Lost Boys, Stolen Trucks is a program of short films by Iowa filmmakers Philip Rabalais and Auden Lincoln-Vogel. Made between 2017 and 2024, these four films about the absurdity of boys trace an artistic collaboration between two filmmakers who continually steal each others’ ideas, whose themes and characters get lost, cropping up years later in the other’s films. Centering around trucks as objects of desire (and anxiety), as vehicles of escape (and destruction), these four films explore dynamics of male friendship (and enmity) through surreal and genre-bending forms.
