Following his break-out TV role in two episodes of US series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, 18 year old Tim Boardman is crossing over onto the big screen, playing the lead role in comedy drama Miles.

Produced by Emmy Award winner Ash Christian, the role sees the Connecticut born teen - who only graduated from high school last year - star alongside screen stalwarts Molly Shannon and Paul Reiser playing young gay man who, after discovering his recently deceased father has squandered his college tuition fund on an illicit affair, joins the girls volleyball team to win a scholarship, causing uproar in his small Illinois hometown.
