Join aGLIFF for a virtual evening including dinner, music, and a web series
Fresh off showing her latest short film CC DANCES THE GO-GO at aGLIFF 33: Prism, Director Erin C. Buckley will share her web series PLATONIC in a unique evening entwining food, friends, conversation, and an intimate performance.
Set in a memory of New York City just before the pandemic, PLATONIC follows Olive (a lesbian Brooklynite) and Billy (her straight best friend) as they look for love and document their search via voicemail messages to each other. This 10-episode series juxtaposes the radical intimacy and hazy boundaries of non-romantic relationships with the sexual fluidity and emotional ambiguity of modern dating.
aGLIFF will show the web series with a twist on Wednesday, September 30 at 7:00 p.m. CST. The organization has invited Austin-based Tina G, formerly of the popular hip-hop/pop/soul duo God-des and She, to the party to show off her culinary skills. She will walk viewers through how to take their grilled cheese to the next level with cooking segments sprinkled between Buckley’s episodes. Viewers can follow along and enjoy the food and drink while they watch the web series. Guests can join a Live Q&A with Buckley and a virtual mini set performed by Tina G afterwards. TICKETS are FREE for aGLIFF Members who register in advance. $10 for non-members.
