Postcards From America

"Scorching!" -Kevin Thomas, LA Times

"Inspired by the poetry and autobiographical work of David Wojnarowicz, who died of AIDS in 1992, "Postcards from America", is an angry, impressionistic cry... a film about growing up gay in a hostile society. McLean separates his film into three stories and casts three actors as his protagonist: Olmo Tighe as young David, a fat, gay child who is traumatized by his parents' violent fights (Michael Ringer and Maggie Low); Michael Tighe as teenage David, a runaway punk and Times Square hustler; and James Lyons as the adult David, a lonely drifter who finds release in quick sex, fast cars and the open road. Postcards is the kind of film that gets under your skin and leaves its disturbing residue in your mind." -Edward Guthmann, San Francisco Chronicle
