As most of you know, music makes up about half my life, with the other part being consumed entirely by film. From acting, writing, directing and now I am pleased to announce the World Premiere of a feature film I recently edited: Rivers Wash Over Me.
Directed by John G. Young. Produced by Darien Sils-Evans. Written by Darien Sils-Evans and John G. Young.
Director of Photography Robert Ansbro. Edited by Stephen Thomas.
Rivers Wash Over Me
(USA, 2009, 83 minutes)
A gay NYC teen faces devastating challenges when he’s sent to live with family in the South. Racial and sexual politics take their toll on a family, and ultimately a community, in this unique and powerful drama about coming to terms with oneself against terrible odds.
The film will premiere Saturday, 6 June, 2009 as The Centerpiece Film of The NewFest in New York City at 8 p.m. NewFest film guide.
It will also debut in San Francisco on 24 June and in Los Angeles 11 July.
I will certainly be attending the New York City premiere and hope you can make it. For those of you not near any of those cities, stay tuned as I'll be updating information as to where and when the film will be playing.
You can also see more about the film on
IMDB.
Wishing you all well! Treacle wells, to be precise!
