About this Event
Special World AIDS Day screening of Pushing Dead, starring James Roday, Danny Glover, Robin Weigert and Khandi Alexander. In the film, a Sundance Institute/Rockefeller Foundation-supported feature, a struggling writer who has been HIV-positive for more than 20 years, is dropped from his health plan for earning too much after accidentally depositing a $100 birthday check. In this new era of sort-of universal health care, can he take on a helpless bureaucracy or come up with $3,000 a month to buy Medic*tion on his own?
The film's writer and director Tom E. Brown, who was born in Stamford, will lead a Q&A session following the screening. Tom's films have been featured at the American Museum of Natural History, the Walker Art Center, and the Guggenheim Museum. His work has screened at hundreds of film festivals and has been televised internationally. He wrote and directed IFC short film favorites Das Clown, Don't run Johnny, and Rubber Gloves, IFC's first film to stream online. Other notable shorts include Tradesman's Exit and Edvard Takes a Lover. Tom is a veteran of the Sundance Film Festival and Sundance Institute's Screenwriters and Directors Labs. He lives in Detroit with two dolls and a number of puppets.
