Truman & Tennessee: An Intimate Conversation | 2020 |

Truman & Tennessee : An Intimate Conversation is a story of two of the greatest writers of the past century examined in a dialogue that stretches from their early days of friendship to their final, unsparing critiques of each other. They lived parallel lives and struggled with a lifelong pursuit of creativity, self-doubt, addiction, and success. STORY This is a story of two of the greatest writers of the past century, Truman Capote and Tennessee Williams who are examined in a dialogue that stretches from their early days of friendship to their final, unsparing critiques of each other. Giving life to the dialogue and a physicality to their relationship, Jim Parsons is Capote and Williams is Zachary Qiunto; both are icons and yet anti-heroes, in an era that has become glutted with one-named celebrities: it’s time for a return to the originals. The two men themselves, as they lived their own life stories, embody the present more than the subjects they confronted in their works. PRESS “It is a story told in their own words and serves as a reminder of what eloquent, witty, self-aware and sensitive individuals they were” - Screen Daily “Succeeds beautifully in providing a revealing look at their troubled psyches” - The Hollywood Reporter “Sympathetic and nicely shaped“ - Deadline FILMMAKER Lisa Immordino Vreeland has been immersed in the world of fashion and art for the past 25 years.
