The Wilgus Stories
New York Premiere - USA - 60 Minutes
Friday, July 21 at 6:00pm
Directed by Andrew Garrison. The shape of a young man’s life is described through encounters at three different ages; with a fast-talking trickster at age 9, with a hell-raising uncle at age 14, and with the woman of his adolescent dreams; only he is now 23 and she is 37. THE WILGUS STORIES was made over ten years with two of the prize-winning stories released independently to critical acclaim. Featuring performances by non-professional and professional actors, including Ned Beatty, these rich stories illuminate inner depths of humor, love and loss.

Written by Andrew Garrison and Gurney Norman. Directors of Photography: Nancy Schreiber, Stephen Lighthill and Peter Pearce. Cast: William Johnson, Christopher Berry, Ned Beatty, Frank Hoyt Taylor, Robin Mullins, Jerry Johnson, Emma Good, Edward Baker, Lashawna Holbrook and Brian Warf.
