Portrait of Jason
Documentary
Interview with Jason Holliday aka Aaron Payne. House-boy, would-be cabaret performer, and self-proclaimed hustler giving one man's gin-soaked, pill-popped view of what it was like to be coloured and gay in 1960s Unites States. Preserved by the Academy Film Archive in 2013.
VIBE
A raw, unflinching deep dive into one man's soul. It feels like a late-night, gin-soaked confession, exposing the vulnerabilities of identity, race, and sexuality in a way that is both heartbreaking and profoundly human.
