Torrey Pines: Film Screening With Live Soundtrack

There will be a screening of Torrey Pines, an autobiographical animated tale that was an official selection from the Seattle Queer Film Festival, at 8:00 PM in the Student Center. 

Torrey Pines is a stop-motion animated feature film by director Clyde Petersen. Based on a true story, the film is a queer punk coming-of-age tale, taking place in Southern California in the early 1990's.

Raised by a schizophrenic single mother, Petersen's life story unfolds in a series of baffling and hallucinated events. With a mother fueled by hallucinations of political conspiracy and family dysfunction, Petersen is kidnapped at the age of 12 and taken on a cross-country adventure that will forever alter the family as they know it.
