A self-identified “genre fluid” film, Underground Orange captures a singular kind of honesty – one that’s both deeply intimate and wildly universal. In director and star Michael Taylor Jackson’s debut feature, a wayward Californian (played by the director, also a native of California) becomes part of a polyamorous relationship with a group of eccentric young actors while backpacking around Argentina. As the performers plot to kidnap the US Ambassador to Argentina, they also broaden the Yankee’s self-perception.
