SAQUON
SAQUON began as a video diary documenting his ACL recovery five years ago. But the camera kept rolling after his return, revealing an intimate journey through his frustrations over the lack of control of his career, quiet family moments, and ultimately, his dominant year with the Eagles, culminating in a storybook Super Bowl win on his birthday. This is Saquon like you have never seen him before.
J.T. LeRoy
Based on Savannah Knoop’s memoir Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT Leroy, Laura Albert (Laura Dern) writes as her “avatar,” a troubled young man named JT LeRoy. When her debut novel becomes a best-seller and “JT” becomes the darling of the literary world, Laura comes up with a unique solution to preserve her anonymity but give life to her creation, convincing her boyfriend’s androgynous fun-loving sister, Savannah (Kristen Stewart) to don a plethora of outlandish disguises and present as JT to the public and the world’s media. Together, they embark on a wild ride of double lives, infiltrating the Hollywood and literary elite, whilst going on their own personal journeys of discovery and identity.
