SUMMARY:Scott Heim: Mysterious Skin
DESCRIPTION:A free author reading\, Q&A\, and signing event. \nAt the age of eight\, Brian Lackey is found bleeding under the crawl space of his house\, having endured something so traumatic that he has blacked out an entire five-hour period. During the following years he slowly recalls details from that night\, fragments that hint at yet cannot explain what happened to him\, leaving him to believe that he may have been the victim of an alien encounter. \nNeil McCormick is fully aware of the events from that summer of 1981. Wise beyond his years\, curious about his developing sexuality\, Neil found what he perceived to be love and guidance from his baseball coach. Now\, ten years later\, he is a teenage hustler\, unaware of the dangerous path he’s on. His recklessness is governed by idealized memories of his coach\, memories that unexpectedly change when Brian comes to Neil for help and\, ultimately\, the truth. \nPresented in partnership with the Refocus Film Festival
