Cowboy

Overview

"COWBOY" is a music video by Jack Boaz and Ryan Thompson, featuring Boaz's original song of the same name. Jack, a transmasc cowboy-curious protagonist, is introduced to Western cowboy culture through Susi, an elder butch cowboy. Susi take him to the Gay Rodeo. Line dancing ensues. "COWBOY" was executive produced and creative directed by Jack Boaz, in collaboration with on-location filming at the New Mexico Gay Rodeo (Santa Fe, NM), and with The Outlaws, a group of queer line dancers from Albuquerque, NM, who created an original line dance choreography for the video by 7 of their trans/nonbinary choreographers. The video was a DIY and community effort, self-funded with 25 dance volunteers, and no indie or major label support.
