Gossamer Folds

[Played Oct. 22—31 as part of the Twin Cities Film Fest and available via VOD platforms.] When the bullying, homophobic, prejudiced father (Shane West) of a dictionary-loving, inquisitive, 10-year-old boy (Jackson Robert Scott) leaves his wife (Sprague Grey), who works for the strict owner (Yeardley Smith) of a bridal shop, after moving to a Kansas City suburb in 1986 in this engaging, well-acted, touching, down-to-Earth, unpredictable, 96-minute film, he is befriended by his Black, artistic, transsexual seamstress neighbor (Alexandra Grey), who dreams of designing in New York City, and her widowed, retired English professor father (Franklin Ojeda) and a not-too-bright friend (Ethan Suplee).
