Uncle Roy

Built from nine decades of personal and professional archives, UNCLE ROY traces the remarkable life of globe-trotting skater-turned-photographer Roy Blakey through the eyes of his niece, filmmaker Keri Pickett. Growing up, Keri barely knew her enigmatic uncle until she followed him to New York to pursue photography—where an unexpected friendship took shape. As their lives intertwine, she discovers his groundbreaking 1972 book He, long hidden from her, and his legacy as a pioneer of gay photography. When Roy’s health declines, Keri is faced with an urgent, intimate challenge: to care for him while preserving the story he kept so carefully guarded.

Director Keri Pickett is scheduled to attend.
