More About the Film
I found Bradley to be one of the most interesting and funniest people I have ever met…a great storyteller, a colorful personality and always visually arresting (in or out of drag!). He never once told me how he wanted to be portrayed or what I should or shouldn’t do during the construction of this film. I enjoyed the humorous possibilities that presented themselves to me during the shooting and editing of the film and wanted to be as interesting, funny and unique as Bradley was.
The film exists as a time piece now that Bradley’s club, Cafe LMNOP is closed. I feel that this film has bonded us for life as he is like the little brother (and sister) I never had. We get together occasionally, usually ending up in the oldest, most historic graveyard we can find, marveling at the carved angels on the headstones, drinking lattes, catching up on each others lives and laughing our heads off. I will always be grateful that I got to meet Bradley as he is one of my favorite people in the world and now (25 years after the completion of my film), I am pleased to have you Meet…Bradley Harrison Picklesimer for yourself! – – Heather McAdams
