First Features: Griffin in Summer
Filmed in Richmond Virginia, Griffin in Summer is the story of fourteen-year-old Griffin Nafly, the most ambitious playwright of his generation, and his encounter with a twenty-five-year-old handyman named Brad. His life (and play) are irreversibly changed.
Followed by a conversation between the director and VCU Cinema Professor Danny Caporaletti (@caporalettifilms).
