Male, white, early to late 20s. 5’6”–6’0”. Must carry a 1970s aesthetic — long hair a plus. Union and non-union encouraged to apply. Must be legally authorized to work in the US. Nationwide search — we want the right actor, wherever he is.

Forgiveness or vengeance.
On the seventh day he must choose.

That's a wrap on THE MAN I LOVE.

Fifty-three years ago on June 24th, 1973, thirty-two people died in the UpStairs Lounge fire, here in New Orleans.

For a long time, this city looked away from them. This film is my way of not looking away. It asks what happens to those left behind in the wake of a tragedy born of hate.

A labor of love, shot over two days in New Orleans, Louisiana - a small cast, a crew that gave everything, and a story that felt right to tell now, filmed in the very week the tragedy unfolded.

To everyone who stood on that set to tell this story, a love story at its core, I'm deeply grateful.

You'll see your names tagged below, because none of this exists without you.

Now it goes into the edit.

There's more to come. ❤️
