O:JA&L’s Buttonhook Press presents a unique multimedia video narrative from Mary Margaret Grant. Queer Crush: Places tells the story of an obsessive and transformative crush using a pastiche of original illustrations, photos, and editing techniques to create motion and active participation in the narrative. The film brings to life, humorously and poignantly and nostalgically, what it was like to experience a crush as a bookish preadolescent in the 1970s. A coming of age narrative, Places is also a loving tribute to coming of age novels that many of us will have experienced and loved as well. Above all, the short film is intended to inspire people who wouldn’t have embarked on such a project to do so.
