Strange Fruit is a 2004 film written and directed by Kyle Schickner and produced by FenceSitter Films. It stars Kent Faulcon as William Boyals and Berlinda Tolbert as Emma Ayers.[1] The title comes from the Billie Holiday song of the same name.
Plot
Attorney William Boyals has escaped the Louisiana bayou of his childhood, but he must return to investigate the death of a childhood friend who, like Boyals himself, was both black and gay.
Production
When told by producers, who had offered the film a $6 million budget, that the lead character could not be both black and gay, Kyle Schickner left the studio to produce the film for only $250,000.[2]
