Skyline Indie Film Festival in Winchester, Va., screens “Tennessee Queer,” a quirky comedy about a man’s struggle to change his small town, next weekend.
Jason Potts leaves New York to return to his small Tennessee hometown only to discover LGBT teenagers are having a hard time. Potts decides to throw a Pride parade before the city councilman and a minister send the teenagers to an ex-gay camp. The film stars Christian Walker and is directed by Earl C. Gorhorn.
Tickets range from $7.50-$12.50. Venue locations vary with screenings planned for Sept. 13-14. For more information, visit skylineindiefilmfest.org.
