Me and My Brother

Me and My Brother, Frank’s first feature length film, places documentary footage of poets Allen Ginsberg, Peter Orlovsky, and Peter’s brother Julius within a fictional framework. Constantly delineating real and imaginary situations and moving back and forth between color and black and white, the film describes the inner and outer worlds of Julius, a catatonic, who silently observes the world around him. The film was re-edited in 1997 to mark the passing of Allen Ginsberg and also features the late Joseph Chaikin, founder of the revolutionary Off-Broadway company, Open Theater.
