Join other Out Pro Chicago members for a special discussion and live reading of Peter, Peter the award-winning screenplay from Chicago writer Paul Fagen!
Peter, Peteer is a nuanced coming-of-age story that follows 12-year-old Peter Goldsmith as he emerges into adolescence. His life is complicated by being both a Jewish kid in a culturally blended household and a gay kid years away from understanding his own sexuality. With the help of a few supportive adults and his musical fantasy daydreams, Peter takes a few awkward steps along the path of making sense of himself.
Peter, Peter is in the early stages of pre-production and fundraising. This interactive event offers a unique opportunity to support a feature-length, independent LGBTQ+ film directed by an LGBTQ+ filmmaker.
The event includes:
- Excerpts from the script performed by celebrated Chicago actors
- A Q&A with the screenwriter
- Information on how you can help share the story of Peter, spread the word, build film industry connections, and join the Peter Peter fundraising effort.
- Brief update on Chicago's independent film industry from IFA Chicago Executive Director Wesley Julian.
