American Gothic (2007)
Synopsis
Jessica Bender has been bitter, isolated, obsessed, and trapped in a downward spiral of sex and drug abuse since her ex-boyfriend, Cole, left her six months ago. As her friend Steve grows uncomfortably close to Ian, a chain-smoking drug dealer on the road to recovery, Jessica attempts to reconnect with her former lover.
Be The Shoe's first feature film, American Gothic is a dark, edgy drama that explores the black heart of teenage suburbia through the eyes of Jessica and her friends.
