Queer Filmmakers Q&A: Mental Health, Coming Out, and BLOCK The Film

February 25, 2021 @ 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM

On a mission to put a face to queer mental health struggles and in an attempt to work though her own coming out story, Carrie Brennan wrote BLOCK– where she stars as Kit O’Brien: a twenty-something year old who’s internal homophobia literally manifests itself as a cinderblock. In order to face her fears and free herself from BLOCK, she’s got to come out. This is a story of self-acceptance, self-love, mental health, and sisterhood.

 

The film-now in the film festival circuit-has grown beyond its original medium, creating a platform for Carrie and the BLOCK Team to meet and interact with its surrounding community. Join us as we sit with producer, actor and writer Carrie Brennan and costar and producer Victoria Ratermanis to talk filmmaking, mental health, queer stories, and BLOCK.

 

Two lucky attendees will receive tickets to the March 4th premiere of BLOCK!

We will pick two names at random from the audience during the event.
