A Boy Called Sailboat is a 2018 American-Australian comedy-drama film written and directed by Cameron Nugent and starring Julian Atocani Sanchez, Noel Gugliemi, Elizabeth De Razzo, Jake Busey, and J. K. Simmons.

[2] The script was drafted over many years, and originally set in Melbourne, Australia, but later transposed to a desert town in New Mexico.

One of the co-producers was Cameron's business partner Andrew Curry, whose family in Melbourne are much involved with the Australian film industry.

[3] The Premiere Entertainment Group, based in Los Angeles, has worldwide rights to the film.

[6] One reviewer[specify] likened the film's technique to that of Wes Anderson, in its "hyper-stylized, whimsical settings and symmetrical staging".
