Rashaad Ernesto Green

The heart of Gun Hill Road lies in two places: a father’s inability to escape the vicious cycle of his life, and the richly drawn character of Michael/Vanessa (newcomer Harmony Santana is unforgettable). Writer/director Rashaad Ernesto Green’s first feature film is a complex family drama, told with gentle humor, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the environment that defines its inhabitants.

An ex-con returns home to the Bronx after three year in prison to discover his wife estranged and his teenage son exploring a sexual transformation that will put the fragile bonds of their family to the test.

Adriana Maggs in person

min total program

In Grown Up Movie Star writer-director Adriana Maggs and star Tatiana Maslany (who won a Special Jury prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival for her performance) flawlessly capture the recklessness and confusion of adolescence. Maggs makes a memorable feature debut with this character-driven melodrama that is funny, touching and pitch-perfect in its evocation of a contentious father-daughter relationship. More than that, it also portrays a sexy, poignant portrait of the ecstasy, agony and frustration of sexual awakening — whether it happens at 13 or 40.

Bored with life in her tiny Newfoundland town, precocious though extremely naïve 13-year-old Ruby is an unguided missile waiting to explode. There is no one at home to put the brakes on her risky behavior as she finds new ways to get into trouble with boys. Mom’s long gone and her ex-hockey star father Ray is grappling with his own sexuality as the closet he has built around himself begins to splinter under the weight of a new affair.
