FEATURE PRESENTATION

Burning Blue
Directed by D.M.W. Greer
2013, USA, 96 min

Since enlisting in the Navy, movie-star handsome elite aircraft pilots Daniel and William have been the best of friends. But their friendship is tested following two fatal accidents aboard their aircraft carrier. When a government agent is placed aboard the ship, his mission is to determine what may have been at the root of the mishaps and prevent another accident. But his investigation abruptly changes direction when a sailor reports seeing Daniel cavorting with another fighter pilot, the headstrong, muscle-bound Matthew, in a gay club. Set during the period when “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was in full force, the lives of Daniel, William, Matthew, and those of their squadron mates and spouses quickly becomes the subject of a deadly modern day witch hunt, entangling all in a web of jealousy and deceit.

Dennis Hinzmann at OUT says “When it comes to Burning Blue, it’s like Brokeback Mountain with fighter jets and men in uniform.” Read his full article here.

Co-written by West Hartford resident Helene Kvale.

Lt. Governor Nancy Wyman is expected to deliver opening remarks. Director David Greer, Producer Andrew Halliday, Co-Writer Helene Kvale and actors Mark Doherty and Michael Sirow will be present for a Q&A session.
