The Delta
Director of Photography
Ubicado en el sur moderno, un drama que habla de la problemática intersección de raza, clase y sexualidad; se desarrolla durante unos días cruciales en las vacaciones de verano de Lincoln Bloom, un apuesto estudiante de una familia judía adinerada. Sin el conocimiento de sus amigos, familiares y novias, Lincoln recorre periódica y furtivamente las zonas de crucero nocturno de Memphis en busca de parejas masculinas. En una de esas salidas, recoge a Minh Nguyen, medio refugiado vietnamita recientemente transportado desde el sudeste asiático. El comienzo comienza cuando un encuentro al azar se profundiza cuando los dos navegan espontáneamente hacia el río Mississippi en el barco del padre de Lincoln. Pero cuando su idilio romántico, que le da a Lincoln su primer sabor de libertad y a Minh su primer sabor de romance, termina en traición, Lincoln decide deslizarse de nuevo en su abrigado, aparentemente "normal"
