The Origin Story of Gerald the Lemon (2019)

It might sound strange, but a deformed lemon has always been the apple of writer/director Taylor Bakken's eye, so to speak. When she sat down to write THE ORIGIN STORY (OF GERALD THE LEMON) it begged the question: why THIS lemon? And so Gerald was born, along with his struggle to get to this point. A struggle with which all who have worked on Gerald so far have identified. With nowhere else to turn, a man signs up for a strange, potentially sketchy, Swedish self-help program that uses trials with produce to assist in looking inward to find the real source of the problems in his life. The program forces Gerald to answer the question: what kind of fruit are you?
