TRUMAN & TENNESSEE Director Up Next on SOUNDS OF FILM

Director Lisa Immordino Vreeland Talks TRUMAN & TENNESSEE On Tom Needham’s SOUNDS OF FILM

Truman & Tennessee : An Intimate Conversation is a story of two of the greatest writers of the past century examined in a dialogue that stretches from their early days of friendship to their final, unsparing critiques of each other. They lived parallel lives and struggled with a lifelong pursuit of creativity, self-doubt, addiction, and success.

This is a story of two of the greatest writers of the past century, Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams who are examined in a dialogue that stretches from their early days of friendship to their final, unsparing critiques of each other. Giving life to the dialogue and a physicality to their relationship, Jim Parsons is Capote and Williams is Zachary Qiunto; both are icons and yet anti-heroes, in an era that has become glutted with one-named celebrities: it’s time for a return to the originals. The two men themselves, as they lived their own life stories, embody the present more than the subjects they confronted in their works.

TRUMAN AND TENNESSEE: AN INTIMATE CONVERSATION is screening at the Port Jefferson Documentary Series on Tuesday, May 4, 2021 (Raindate: Next Day). “Doors” open @ 7:30PM & movie starts at sundown Harborfront Park off of E. Broadway Port Jefferson, New York, 11777. For more information, go to https://portjeffdocumentaryser...
