Glo
A Film Directed by Tanyeno Wotorson
[Picture Omitted in paste]
Director Tanyeno Wotorson
is building a body
of work which centers
around the human condition
- our ideas of it and
who we are as part of it.
She was once known for
her elaborate theatrical
productions as a film student
and a mood she injected
into her films (even
having been dubbed the
“Female Edgar Allen Poe” for the same perspective
and aesthetic.) After leaving school, Tanyeno
took numerous production jobs, collecting
experiences to help her as a filmmaker. She
eventually returned to her passion for writing
and directing with the film Mask. Tanyeno is
presently completing her third short. Glo is a
film about stigma, expectations, and perception
– and how in the blink of an eye, all of these
things can change.
The story begins with two diametrically opposed
brothers – the ‘golden boy,’ Simon, and
his prodigal brother Leandro. The financially
successful, hot New York club owner Simon
seems to have it all, while his brother Leandro
runs a struggling dive bar in the Midwest, open
only out of love for his clientele and staff.
Simon is living every man’s dream, a successful
business, a hot, go-go dancer fiancée, when
he gets a phone call that changes everything.
Rushing to Leandro’s terrain, he becomes captured
by the profoundly beautiful and mysterious
Ertia.
As Simon’s surroundings change, so does his
mien. He goes from a high-end nightclub to
his brother’s dive club; a luxurious apartment
to a quaint and cozy Midwestern home; and
from an anesthetized setting and relationship
to so much more in life that he has yet to fully
realize.
As the story unfolds, we find out why Leandro
is the prodigal son, who Ertia is, and how Simon’s
preconceived notions of his brother, and
more importantly, his life and those in it, begin
to unravel the very substance of Simon’s being.
Simon is flawed, and yet he is the ideal catalyst
for real emotional change – the audience is led
on a tempestuous journey that causes them to
see what he sees, feel how he feels, and start to
recognize their own feelings about stigma and
prejudice in their own lives.
The gay, heterosexual and lesbian characters in
the film are people navigating the emotionally
and sexually imperfect landscape of their lives.
Who will be the real impetus for the change in
Simon’s very being?
The director wants the audience to confront
the stigmas that they have in their own lives, as
well as the subtle or not so-subtle prejudices
that they have experienced or projected onto
others. It is the hope of the film’s creators will
open audience’s minds and their hearts, to see
that all may not be what it seems, and yet there
is beauty in every story.
