He performs a pas de deux with the process of making the film: questions from the director and crew are heard, the crew laughs with him at his jokes, at times the camera runs out of film but the sound continues, with black leader replacing the picture. The film itself was shot over a twelve-hour period. Jason recounts tales from his life that define his identity. He describes how he changed his name to change his identity; work he held in the past as a houseboy to wealthy people; his homosexuality and the gay subculture in San Francisco and New York; visits to a psychiatrist; his love for alcohol; his aspiration to be a nightclub entertainer. He gives examples of his nightclub act, imitating female entertainers and movie roles such as Mae West and Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the wind. Towards the end, he is accused by an off-screen voice of being a liar. This brings him to tears, pleading to be loved. The filmmaker's voice ends the film by saying "The end." 538 VHS NTSC. 590 PFA 0500-01-8204. |aCONDITION NOTE: Transferred from print in very good condition: light lines and scratches throughout; print is fairly dirty. 600 10 Holliday, Jason|vInterviews. 650 0 Male homosexuality. 650 0 Male prostitution. 655 7 Experimental films.|2lcgft 655 7 Biographical films.|2lcgft 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 Holliday, Jason. 700 1 Clarke, Shirley,|d1919-1997,|edirection,|eproduction, |eediting. 700 1 Sapanen, Jeri,|ecamera/lighting. 700 1 Daniel, Francis,|esound. 700 1 Fiore, Robert,|eproduction. 700 1 Hubbard, Jim,|eproduction. 710 2 Mystic Fire Video, Inc. 935 GLADN168059125 941 0 PFA 0500-01-8204.
