Commissioned by the University of Pittsburgh’s August Wilson Archive, this 90-minute documentary traces two time Pulitzer-Prize-winning playwright August Wilson’s early life in Pittsburgh and the restoration of his childhood home in the historic Hill District. The film highlights the roots that shaped his path to Broadway.

Millie Blake, a perfectionist soccer star and straight-A student, is sentenced to a month of community service at a nursing home after trying to stop a fight at school, an unexpected start to her senior year. There, she’s paired with Andy Wellick, the outspoken instigator of the fight, and the two clash…until friendship, and then something more, blossoms. This inclusive, coming-of-age LGBTQ+ story explores identity, self-discovery, and the courage to be true to oneself.
