Jo's grandfather—a decorated veteran—has died, leaving emotional wreckage and unpaid debts in his wake. As she prepares for the funeral, Jo's heart is set on keeping grandpa's burial flag; to get it, she'll have to deal with her despondent mother, an attempted exorcism, and competition from a secret aunt young enough to be her little sister. It won't be easy, but nothing an aspiring saint like Jo can't handle.

| Are You There Truman? It's Me, Just Another Guy Who Grew Up Secretly Worshipping Your Chiseled Porn Star Body Online And Now I Think I Love You.
Directed by Justin Ivan Brown Featuring Alton Alburo, Will Turner, Sam Dash, Kathleen Choe, and Diane Chen. Produced by Carolina Do "The heart wants what the heart wants...and sometimes, the heart wants the porn—*ahem*—adult film star you’ve been - *ahem* “admiring” since middle school. As Guy looks for love online & IRL, in the past & in the present, all roads lead to Truman Goetz-Harder. But how's a Guy supposed to get off when the man he's been conditioned to desire has gotten offline? Are You There Truman... explores how one queer person constructs, then deconstructs, then maybe reconstructs his sexuality and desire.” |
