Q Sundance Preview: LA MISSION
Karina Longworth talks to director Peter Bratt at SpoutBlog.com about the upcoming world premiere of his gay Latino feature, LA MISSION at the Sundance Film Festival:
“The story takes place in an urban Latino community, and centers on a violent patriarch (“Che”) who discovers that his only son (“Jess”) is homosexual. In the San Francisco Neighborhood that bears the film’s name, Che is a reformed bad boy of the street, who at middle age, finds beauty building classic lowrider cars. His son, and the friends he’s had since childhood, are at the center of his world. In many ways, Che personifies the dominant patriarchal culture that surrounds him, and like that culture, is at the threshold of great change. He is faced with a choice: maintain old habits and attitudes, OR adapt, grow and mature.”
