Homecomings, of All Sorts . . .
Fresh Fruit at the East Village Queer Film Festival
in residence, at The WILD Project – 195 East 3rd Street
Some of us worked on a unique play back in the 1990s. Don Scimé’s The David Dance told a heartwarming life-journey, a story of sibling love and mutual understanding. It was hard NOT to get involved with this play, as dozens of critics pointed out. Now we see it back as a full length, multi-award winning feature film.
More recently we had a play in the Fresh Fruit Festival called Sunset. A short subject by Gary Jaffe, it too has now surfaced as an award-winning film. With both of these masterworks in one Festival, we are pleased to present Fresh Fruit at the EVQ Film Festival – at The WILD Project! Plus, a staged reading of a new screenplay by Johnny B. Dunn on Sunday.
