Itโs not just a great film, itโs unlike any other film Iโve seen. At times it feels like a sharply observant play, at time it has an almost novelistic scope, but it always looks cinematic and has moments of great beauty and awfulness. I laughed a lot but felt emotionally wrecked at the end.

I was the boom op and this is the best crew out there, I loved everyone that worked on this movie and Iโm so happy to see it done. I will never forget that month in that dusty brownstone. Please go and see this you will have fun!

The bewilderment of the early days of COVID is given a manic queer twist in Theda Hammelโs propulsive, brilliantly discombobulating comedy set in Brooklyn in the summer of 2020. Feeling the sting from a recent separation from his husband, Terry (John Early) is doing his due, รผber-masked diligence to watch over his nephew Bahlul (Qaher Harhash), a Moroccan male model who is staying with Terry while nursing a broken leg. Meanwhile, Terry is fearful thatโฆ

Somehow this is might be the most accurate portrayal of post 9/11 American culture Iโve seen in quite some time. Even in NEW YORK CITY people who youโd think are progressive are LGBT-InQonsiderate when it comes to race and backgrounds, especially from the middle eastern territories as if theyโฆ
