I ALWAYS SAID YES: THE MANY LIVES OF WAKEFIELD POOLE

Thursday @ 7:00 pm
Director: Jim Tushinski
Runtime: 93 minutes
USA 2013

An outspoken and articulate artist in a turbulent, passionate time, Wakefield Poole didn’t think of himself as a pornographer. He was a filmmaker who used his dance and theater background to create beautiful, erotic art films that challenged the mind. Many agreed. To others, though, Poole just made dirty movies. I Always Said Yes: The Many Lives of Wakefield Poole tells the story of this sometimes overlooked gay liberation and independent film making pioneer. Courtesy of Filmmaker

She meets Alice, an older beautiful widow, who has come to visit her daughter Suzanne, a friend of Tru’s.  Sparks fly - Alice and Tru begin forging more than a friendship. When Suzanne witnesses an intimate moment between the two, she tries to sabotage the budding romance. It backfires as Tru Love is hard to contain.
