Goodbye Blue Sky (2017)
A new film about a group of strangers sharing an abandoned desert motel — some time after an apocalyptic event — is about redefining love and sex when old definitions don’t matter anymore. Goodbye Blue Sky is Brandon Zuck’s third short film exploring complex LGBT relationships, following 2013’s Stay and last year’s A Song for Your Mixtape, which screened during Outfest’s 2016 Boys Shorts. Goodbye Blue Sky turns into a sexy and stylish post-apocalyptic thriller when its characters are forced to choose between love and survival.
“I’ve always been interested in post-apocalyptic stories because they can explore relationships when everything else is stripped away,” Zuck says. “Given family versus found family. A three-way romance that has no name, but doesn’t need one because the world ended. Even LGBT films can underrepresent or undervalue identities that don’t fit squarely within the L or the G — that’s why I wanted to tell this story.”
Filmed in the desert surrounding Palmdale, Calif., last summer, the film has a message that is frighteningly relevant in a political climate where prejudices and fear cloud our ability to look out for one another.
