Eban and Charley is a 2000 independent drama film written and directed by James Bolton. It follows the romantic relationship between Eban, a 29-year-old gay man, and Charley, a 14-year-old boy. Despite being about a very controversial topic, the film addresses these issues in a low-key, relaxed manner. The film also addresses the consequences that Eban and Charley's relationship provokes with their parents. Its plot is based on an incident in which one of Bolton's friends was dumped by his older boyfriend, because their parents did not approve of their age disparity.
