Description

Peridot is the story of Gabriel, a young male gigolo, working on Skid Row in order to send money to his mother back home. There he forms the most unlikely friendship with Martha, an elderly woman and renowned author. We created Peridot to break down the barriers and labels in a deeply ageist culture. We wanted to create a story that exemplifies that love and friendship knows no age, race, gender, or label.

    I saw this film at a screening/festival and I was blown away. Shayne Pax is MAGNETIC, I think we will be seeing a lot more of him. This movie is not only beautiful, it's funny, heartbreaking, and it has cinematic integrity. As in, it lets the audience intellectualize the things that are not said. It's refreshing, because we all know most things are not said, they're shown. And that's what Pax's directing style gives to this coming of age romantic tragedy. Everyone around me was crying, and then wiping their tears through their laughter from simple comedic moments that gives us a dreamy levity as well. If you are going through a hard time, or want to whiteness a gritty, grey, yet wholesome story, and you probably are a fan of Gus Van Sant, this film is for you. Pax's performance gives me a River Phoenix, while also embodying a cool feminine trickster energy. A true star. Can't wait to see the next one.
