Duncan Tucker, Movie Director

Four Seasons, Thurs., Dec. 15, 2:45pm.
On Philadelphia: "Philadelphia is a hip, urban, sophisticated town. It felt that way at the screening. This could've been New York City. Philadelphia is the sixth borough, or so I've heard twice today. I think of Philadelphia, I think of The Philadelphia Story with Katharine Hepburn. Where are all those blueblood mansions? Do they exist for real, or is that just Hollywood? The audience for the screening was really hip and interesting and really varied. I had middle-aged Jewish ladies and young hetero couples and gay men and teenage girls coming up to me and responding to the movie in various ways. The food here is really good too. I just had the greatest tomato soup I've had in years-seriously. It had, like, little bits of cod in it." (Interview by Cassidy Hartmann)
Duncan Tucker's new film is Transamerica, a story about a transsexual woman who discovers she's the parent of a long lost 17-year-old son.
