Watercolors (World Premiere)

David Oliveras, USA, 2008, 106 min

When a gifted, young artist arrives at the opening of his first New York exhibition, his erotic paintings trigger memories of his first love, a troubled high school swimmer (whose coach is played by Olympic Champion Greg Louganis.) Through a series of flashbacks we see Danny and Carter struggle with their mutual attraction. With the encouragement of three strong and very different women, Mrs. Martin, a free-spirited art teacher, his best friend, Andy, a young girl with a severe physical impairment, and Miriam, a recovering alcoholic and devoutly religious mother, Danny learns to use his creativity to move beyond his past.  


Several individuals involved in the making of the film will be in attendance including:

David Oliveras - Writer, Director, Producer

Adam Kassoff - Executive Producer

Kyle Clare - Lead Actor (swimmer)

Tyler Olson - Lead Actor (artist)

Marcelo Cesena - Composer
