The film also explores how Black, who was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, struggled to reconcile his childhood faith with his identity as a gay man before moving to Los Angeles to study filmmaking. Once Black began living as his true self, he became estranged from members of his extended family.
These days, Black is no stranger to depicting America’s political divide and anti-LGBTQ sentiments in his screenplays.
