FOR YEARS TO COME With Richard Riehle to Premiere In Los Angeles At Dances With Films

The half-hour TV pilot "For Years to Come" will premiere in Los Angeles at the Dances With Films festival on Saturday July 1st at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Blvd.

In this irreverent and heartfelt romantic dramedy, a gay man falls in love with his dead mother's hospice nurse, while struggling to reconnect with his elderly father...who's secretly a porn director.

"The story is deeply personal...When my mother was dying, I found out my father was a porn director! For years, I knew I had to make something of that story. And then during the pandemic - when so many people were determined to live more intentionally, and laugh in the face of hard times; when we were dealing with unimaginable grief, and still daring to imagine the happiness on the other side - I realized the story had universal appeal." - James Patrick Nelson

"For Years to Come" is directed by Emmy-nominee Micah Stuart. Writer-creator James Patrick Nelson stars alongside veteran character actor Richard Riehle ("Office Space," "The Fugitive," "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Mysterious Skin"). The cast also features Jason W. Wong, Kristy Munden, Samia Mounts, Jay DeYonker, and Suzanne Ford.

"In this moment of rising anti-LGBTQ bigotry, we want to tell an optimistic hopeful story about complicated queer people, in which their queerness is never the conflict. The universal questions facing our queer lead characters are - How do I grieve on my own terms? How can I see my parent as a full human being? How do I live more fully, knowing I'm going to die someday? Is there ever a right or wrong moment to fall in love?" - James Patrick Nelson

"For Years to Come" arrives at Dances With Films after screening in NYC at the Big Apple Film Festival, winning a special Jury Award from the OUTshine LGBTQ+ Film Festival in Miami, and opening the prestigious Independent Pilot competition at SeriesFest in Denver.
