Peter, Peter is an award-winning feature-length screenplay (Chicago Screenplay Festival, LGBTQ Unbordered International Film Festival). This nuanced coming of age story follows 12-year-old Peter Goldsmith while he navigates all the developmental changes of early adolescence as a Jewish kid of divorced parents in a culturally blended family, and as a gay kid who won’t figure that out for another 10 years. Set in the early 80’s, a time with few cultural markers for suburban kids and even fewer markers (if any) for queer kids, Peter has little guidance from parents and step-parents about how to make his way. But with the help of a few understanding adults (and daydreams of the musical fantasy variety that keep him sane), Peter starts on the long path to making sense of it all.
