Synopsis |
|
Adapted from his stage play POOR
SUPERMAN, LEAVING METROPOLIS marks
the directorial debut of
screenwriter Brad Fraser (Queer as
Folk, LOVE AND HUMAN REMAINS). The
story centers around David (Troy
Ruptash), a successful gay artist
suffering from a case of artistic
block. Seeking inspiration from
daily life and ordinary people, he
applies for a job waiting tables at
a restaurant owned by married couple
Matt (Vincent Corazza) and Violet (Cherilee
Taylor). Matt and David strike up a
friendship informed by their mutual
interest in art, but the
relationship evolves into something
more as Matt finds himself
unexpectedly attracted to David. An
erotic exploration of the fluid
nature of sexuality and gender
identity, LEAVING METROPOLIS
features a scene-stealing
performance by Thom Allison as
David's transgendered, HIV-positive
friend and roommate Shannon. |
