"The Curiosity of Chance" is a low budget indie film with a ton of heart and enough talent to pull it off. Set in the 80's, (camp appeal?) it tells the story of gay teenager, Chance Marquis, and how he came to fit in at a new high school. Set in Europe, with lots of Flemish and Dutch actors playing lesser roles, you'd think the lead actor was born there, too, with a name like Tad Hilgenbrinck. But you'd be wrong, this talented young man hales out of the Windy City. Along with co-star, Brett Chukerman, the two young men bring a sincerity to their characters that is both heart-warming and well-tempered. Definitely a movie worth seeing.
