About Boaz

Boaz Stark was obsessed with puppets from the age of six and performed sell-out shows at Christian kindergartens on Jewish holidays until he burnt out at twelve. Ten years later, he found himself studying screenwriting and realised it's just a more sophisticated form of puppetry. Boaz has since written hundred of hours of television, including the "Mel's death" episode of Packed to the Rafters - the highest rating episode of and Australian drama series to date. He has worked as a copywriter for advertising and web, had short stories and two books published, "The Drag Queen Baby Name Book" (available on Amazon) and "Helen Staub - a Holocaust memoir" (privately published). The two works couldn't be more diametrically opposed in subject matter. Boaz has written scripts and articles for the Australian Federal Government's Digital Health Agency, as well as writing, producing and directing a short-form web drama series, "The Horizon". With 75,000,000+ views on YouTube and growing by 30,000 views daily, The Horizon is the most watched gay men's web series in the world.

Our entry in to the world is innocent 19 year-old country boy Jake who comes to the city to meet 28 year old AJ after months of chatting online. Things turn pear-shaped when AJ is exposed as a serial cheater and absolute sex addict. Despite the debacle, Jake decides to stay in the city with the support of caustic drag queen, new best friend and flatmate, Wilma Bumhurt. Jake and AJ decide to 'try again' but AJ soon cheats with Jake's closeted school friend Micky, who is visiting the city with his girlfriend Millie. Meanwhile, Wilma's Christian mother Yvonne is appalled to learn her estranged son, Dennis, is now a drag queen.
