Past Run
The Blue Tooth Virgin
Two writers must face a dilemma that is common to anyone who has ever had an artistic friend: What happens when you have to give feedback, and the news isn’t good? Sam, an aspiring screenwriter, and David, a successful magazine editor, have been pals for years. When David doesn’t appreciate Sam’s latest script, it opens a fissure in their friendship, one that spreads through the rest of their lives. Ultimately, both men must reevaluate their motivations to write, their need for praise and validation, and what it means to see yourself as you actually are.
Special Jury Award, Seattle International Film Festival
““The film is so full of wisdom about the agony and ecstasy of writing — and the perils of asking a friend for advice — that it should be required viewing in all screenwriting classes... Russell Brown's direction is often razor-sharp and the action climaxes with a virtuoso cameo appearance by the great Karen Black as a wily and wise script consultant.””
— William Arnold, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
