Those People is a 2015 American romantic drama film written and directed by Joey Kuhn and starring Jonathan Gordon, Jason Ralph, and Haaz Sleiman. The cast also includes Britt Lower, Meghann Fahy in her film debut, Chris Conroy, Daniel Gerroll, and Allison Mackie.

Kuhn has described the film as having been inspired by his own experience falling in love with his best friend at college, as well as by his fascination with the story of Bernie Madoff's son Mark, who died by suicide two years after his father's arrest.

Those People had its world premiere at the Seattle International Film Festival on May 16, 2015. Distributed by Wolfe Releasing, the film opened in theaters in New York City and Los Angeles on May 6, 2016, and was released on DVD and video on demand on June 14.

During its festival run, the film won the Audience Award for Outstanding Feature Film at the 2015 NewFest: New York Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, & Transgender Film Festival, as well as the Audience Award for Best First US Dramatic Feature at the 2015 Outfest Film Festival. The film was nominated for Outstanding Film – Limited Release at the 28th GLAAD Media Awards in 2017.
