Reeling: Watercolors

Winner of the audience award at Outfest, this debut feature by writer/director David Oliveras is the tale of two star-crossed lovers. Sensitive and artistic, Danny is an outcast, more accustomed to perusing guys in magazines than in real life. But when Carter, the hunkiest swimmer in school, ends up bunking with him one weekend, an unexpected romance unleashes both positive and negative consequences for both. Oliveras gives the actors (including Golden Globe winner Karen Black) plenty to work with in his well-rounded script that plays like a first love story anyone can identify with.
