SCREAMS FROM THE TOWER is a gay, coming-of-age comedy that follows Julien Rosdahl, his best friend Cary, and their outcast friends through high school in the 1990’s. The only thing Julien dreams of is having a show on the high school radio station, but his brand of comedy is very… weird. But when his dreams start to come true, Julien has to come to terms with his shiny new popularity, his at-risk friendship with Cary, and the reality of his own sexual identity. Present for a Q&A after the film will be Cory Wexler Grant, an actor, writer, director and producer, whose first feature film “Painter” was awarded Grand Prize, Best Feature Film at Rhode Island International Film Festival.
