Motorcycles, polyamory, strip clubs, tiny dogs, lipstick, dead-end jobs! The writing/directing team Jai Brooks and Catherine Pancake offer a hometown sneak preview of their sure-to-be-a-hit gender-bent and erotic brew of 16mm film, animation, and digital video dissecting the ups and downs of relationships in Baltimore’s African-American queer community with tragicomedy razor-sharp wit! Beautifully shot on 16mm film, Jay Dreams mashes lyrical eroticized imagery with deadpan haikus searing the B-more social scene. This film adaptation of Jai Brooks’ popular ‘dating haikus’ stars a who’s who list of the African American performance in Baltimore! Following the preview, a red hot cabaret with NYC queer celebs Goddess and She with luminaries of Baltimore’s African American queer scene (and film cast members!): K Love the Infinite, Reina Williams, Fyre, and Jai Brooks taking the stage with rap, soul, spoken word, and more!!
