Nine Weeks In December
On a park bench in New York, two strangers meet…or maybe three. Logan, a 26 year old femme lesbian, is mourning the death of her fiancé Tess. Simon, a 55 year old gay man, is trying to heal from a failed relationship, after realizing his partner of 18 years had been having an affair the whole time. And Tess, a new ghost, is attempting to come to terms with her new way of interacting with the world. Nine Weeks In December is a queer coming of age story that takes audiences on a journey of grief, healing, and plaque-engraving.

Two men sit in a room, debating a banana. What is the purpose of a banana? What makes a banana a banana? Who created bananas? These men philosophize the fruit, delving into every possible characteristic of the humble yellow food. We don’t know who they are, we don’t know why they’re doing this, but we do know that these men really know how to drag out a conversation. You will never look at a banana the same way.
