Working with performer Domonick Wegesin during a very romantic connection in Minneapolis, Tim Miller and Domonick conspired with Venus de Mars to fulfill a commission from KTCA TV in Minneapolis. The tasteful, yet naughty, homoerotics of the film freaked the PBS station out and it was never shown. But the memory and heat of a beautiful May in Minneapolis lives on.
