(SHOWcase) Ruthie Doyle's La Vernia!

In LaVernia, queer Brooklynite EstherAnn Graber gets a call that her grandmother has passed away, and she returns to the rural Texas town of LaVernia for the funeral. Esther's travels not only bring her complex relationship to her family into focus, but also highlight the many roles Esther plays.

Ruthie Doyle (writer/director/EstherAnne Graber) is a filmmaker based in Los Angeles via Brooklyn. Often lyrical and impressionistic, her work makes a non-literal exploration of issues surrounding family, memory, identity, gender and sexuality. Ruthie's past work includes interactive screen pieces: for performance via physical computing, and for audience engagement using mobile phones. She is also influenced by her social justice activism and work in health and healing.
