TOWNSHIP OF WASHINGTON—Film producer and Westwood native Michael W. Gray is hosting a Q&A with Frank Jasper, who played the iconic role of Brian Shute in the 1985 motion picture “Vision Quest,” a coming-of-age romantic drama film starring Matthew Modine, Linda Fiorentino, Michael Schoeffling and Ronny Cox. It is based on Terry Davis’ 1979 novel of the same name.

Modine plays a Spokane high school wrestler who falls in love with an older woman — an aspiring artist from New Jersey on her way to San Francisco.

The cult classic includes an appearance by Madonna, her first in a major motion picture, playing a singer at a local bar, where she performs the songs “Crazy for You” and “Gambler.” 

The special event takes place Dec. 12 at 4:30 p.m. at the Township Theater, 249 Pascack Road, owned by township native Laura Rose (Wehner).

Select scenes from the movie will be played with an open audience discussion about the movie, nutrition, sports, movies and wrestling.
