Frank comes to terms with his alcoholism

Synopsis

Frank, a gay man in the mid-1990's, comes to terms with his alcoholism after testing positive for HIV.

Director's Statement

This film was influenced by my own addiction recovery and close call with HIV/AIDS. The greatest experience with this film was the physical act of synching up the soundtrack. There is no experience like touching your work print and then seeing the process through, nights and weekends in a summer living on nothing but Papa John's pizza for late night meals and breakfast.
