Introduction by Jenni Olson with a post-screening conversation with Jenni Olson and Dennis Harvey

New Restoration! Co-Presented by Frameline

Edward Thompson (Daniel Holt) is a gay filmmaker hard at work on his latest triple-X epic: the tacky story of a pair of college buddies (Dean Johnson and Andrew Dupree) wanting to hook up with an older daddy (Richard Locke) called Fuck Me, Fuck Me, Daddy! But as shooting gets underway, Edward finds his happy memories of his ex (Johnny Dawes) and his private fantasies of the couple he peeps on (Jan Boscamp and Robert Vega) bleeding into the action happening on set. The concluding chapter in the loose trilogy started by Passing Strangers and Forbidden Letters, Daddy Dearest is a lighthearted but provocative exploration of fantasy, memory, and cinema.
