About Jonny Appleseed
Off the reserve and trying to find ways to live and love in the big city, Jonny Appleseed, a two-spirit Indigiqueer young man, becomes a cybersex worker who fetishizes himself in order to make a living. Jonny's world is a series of breakages, appendages, and linkages—and as he goes through the motions of preparing to return home to attend his stepfather's funeral, he learns how to put together the pieces of his life. Jonny Appleseed is a unique, shattering vision of Indigenous life, full of grit, glitter, and dreams.
