| Parallel Sons SYNOPSIS Due for release on the 6th September 2005 Set in the Adirondacks in upstate New York, this artful gay drama centers on the developing relationship between two very different people: Seth (Gabriel Mick), a bored 20-year-old white man with a drinking problem and an obsession to black culture (hence his blond dreadlocks) and Knowledge, an African-American jail escapee simply looking for freedom. Seth, who longs to leave his backwoods existence and study art in New York City spends his time listening to rap and hip-hop and reading, and interestingly, he's never has never met a black person. When Knowledge (Lawrence Mason) suddenly staggers into his world, dripping blood from a bullet wound and wielding a gun, Seth is unfazed. The young man sequesters him to a cabin in the woods to help nurse him back to health. The two have an immediate culture clash, but eventually form a relationship that wends its way through mutual curiosity, awkward desire and passionate love. While modest in execution, the film is both sincere and involving and was the winner of the Best Feature Film Award at the 1995 San Francisco International Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. |
