Potato Dreams of America. The film plays Frameline45 beginning June 15. The film also plays the Provincetown Film Festival beginning June 18.Potato Dreams of America dramatizes Hurley’s own life story of emigrating from Russia to the United States.
Growing up in Vladivostok in the last days of Soviet rule, young Vasili/Potato (Hersh Powers) grows up hooked on the hope and glamour of American movies, praying to Jesus (Jonathan Bennett, yes, from Mean Girls) for deliverance.
As he grows up, however, both Potato and his mother, Lena, (Sera Barbieri) both begin to realize he’s gay. That will mean almost certain death in Russia, so Lena becomes a mail-order bride and spirits Potato away to Seattle.
