Veteran filmmaker Ira Sachs returns to a place where his own creative spark was lit, the downtown New York City world where artists of all stripes (and sexualities) from experimental theater to painting to music to poetry and more could congregate and feed their need to create, even in the face of impending death and the spread of AIDS in the late 1980s. This was a place to be alive, no matter what the future might hold, a place to fulfill your own needs and do it on your own terms.
Sachs and his longtime writing partner Mauricio Zacharias
