the letter b

The Letter B tells the story of the life and passing of Brendan Cameron Stampley, a young queer person whose sudden departure shook Downtown LA's underground nightlife community. The film explores Brendan's history from his childhood as a mixed-race queer person in Ventura County, California, to his journey of self-acceptance in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Thematically, The Letter B explores underground queer nightlife in Los Angeles, HIV/AIDS and its impact on Brendan's life, psychedelics and consciousness, the search for self and how family, chosen and biological, shapes who we are. Through the eyes of those who knew him the deepest, the film explores the radical act of being yourself in a world that convinces you otherwise.
