Synopsis: Blueprint eschews traditional narrative for a fresh and intriguing approach to storytelling marked by a special attention to place and mood.
Two attractive young African-American college students are drawn to one another despite essentially opposite personalities. Reserved Keith’s time in New York City is nearing its end, but when free-spirit Nathan suddenly appears, he finds himself slowly opening up to new possibilities.
 

On The Downlow  88min
Sunday, Sept. 9th at 6:50pm

Abigail Child’s documentary focuses on four such men in Cleveland, revealing the complex web of racial, societal, and familial forces that inform their behavior and identity.
