Nana's Boys

Q (Jared Wayne Gladly) and Amari (David J. Cork) are a gay, African American couple living in a downtown high-rise. During a 24-hour period, they are confined to their apartment and are forced to go into the depth of their relationship in ways that could enhance it, jeopardize it, or both.

Gladly and Cork are powerful in one of those rare films that are two-people only and generate a lot of passion with depth, courage, and a variety of moods. One of many intriguing situations is how Amari's character has polar opposite outlooks about mornings at the beginning and the end of the film. Director/writer Ashton Pina has created a powerful story which will hopefully be adapted to a stage play one day.

RATING: 9 out of 10

OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT: Screenplay by Ashton Pina.
