(Danny Denial, Seattle, WA, 2020, 30 min)
A dysphoric musician caught in a bisexual love triangle with his two best friends takes a mysterious drug that erases his identity in this surreal short film from Seattle musician Danny Denial.
Danny Denial is a Seattle-based musician and filmmaker listed as the “POC of the Queer/Punk Alternative Scene To Watch” in Status Magazine and one of the “8 Punkest Bands On the Planet Right Now” in Afropunk, as well as highlighted in NPR and The Seattle Times with his band Dark Smith. His first feature film, Kill me to death, was selected for the 43rd Portland International Film Festival.
Vera is really excited to Co-Present Danny Denial: CONDiTiONER. Danny is an active and important member of the Seattle music community and we are so excited to continue to help support their art endeavours.
Presented by Seattle’s Northwest Film Forum, the 23rd Annual Local Sightings Film Festival [Online] virtually showcases creative communities from throughout the Pacific Northwest. The 2020 program, which runs from September 18-27, features a competitive selection of curated shorts and feature film programs, inviting regional artists to experiment, break, and remake popular conceptions around filmmaking and film exhibition.
Local Sightings 2020 champions emerging and established talent, supports the regional film industry, and promotes diverse media as a critical tool for public engagement. This year’s festival also celebrates NWFF’s 25th Anniversary as an organization.
Vote for your favorite films by 12pm PDT on Closing Day, Sep. 27; BEST FEATURE and BEST SHORT winners receive a future screening opportunity at NWFF!
