GREETINGS
FROM OUT HERE
1993
Director: Ellen Spiro
Co-produced by Kate Horsfield
runtime:
58:00
TONGUE-IN-CHEEK AND PEDAL to the metal, Ellen Spiro and dog Sam travel the
backroads of the South documenting gay life in the boonies and beyond. Sometimes
hilarious, sometimes poignantly moving, and always enthralling, the mood
of GREETINGS FROM OUT HERE changes as often as does the weather on the backroads
of Spiro's South - - with its hubcap decorated shacks, its embracing landscapes,
its hilariously improbable place names, and most of all its extraordinary
people. National PBS Broadcast.
