PRODUCTION NOTES
Set in Pittsburgh 1946, a rebellious art student at Carnegie Tech, 18-year-old Andy Warhol, unexpectantly finds himself in the basement of a working-class bar owned by Mario "Bones" Bonino, a second-generation Italian American. Over the course of the summer, Andy and Bones form an unlikely friendship that surprises them both. This refreshing path to mutual respect foments a sense of humanity while examining the complexities between urban LGBTQIA+ lifestyle and blue-collar sensibilities, reinforcing our aspirations that divisions can be bridged by our fundamental need to create.
