An American in Texas
Synopsis:
An angry, crackling and defiantly disordered underclass of nowheresville punk- rock kids, see their band Surgeon General's Warning (SGW) as their ticket out of small town Texas, as 1990 comes to a close. The band drops acid, plays gigs and carries out calculated acts of vandalism around town to the television soundtrack of 24-hour newscasts about Operation Desert Storm and devotion to country at any cost. Faced with the reality of a dead end job at the plastic plant, a life in the oil field, or fighting a war that has no meaning to them, the group's chaos and imminent adulthood leaves them completely vulnerable for what ensues.
Some Reviews and info:
?????..."An absolute adrenaline rush of a movie that captured something pure... Ferocious and unrelenting...One of the best indie films of the year"...Chris Olsen, UK Fillm Review
Although set in 1990, An American in Texas feels strangely relevant to the nation's current, never- more-polarized moment. The film's energy and ambition surges like a heart-on-sleeve anthem, amps cranked to 11 in a hymn of righteous malcontent and surprising grace...Steve Dollar for Indiewire, WSJ)
Director Anthony Pedone, opens with the president announcing the official start of the Gulf War and a flurry of masked teens destroying a house with bats, hammers, and other tools. From this brief opening, it becomes impossible to look away as the movie unfolds realistically and intriguingly...Bobby LePire, Film Threat
Lola: Girl Got a Gun
Synopsis:
LOLA: GIRL GOT A GUN is about a young girl searching for purpose and belonging in a conservative West Texas household. Will she become who her family wants her to be? Or will she become the bold and brave woman she desires to be? LOLA bares witness to a young and angelic girl who experiences the emotional weight of her mother's abuse by her conservative NRA member father. The heaviness of the abuse permeates her home, and she searches for an outlet for her anger and fear. She feels that all is lost, until one day she wanders into her parents' room the morning after a particularly violent night. What she finds changes her worldview permanently: her father's loaded pistol. She decides to keep it as her own, names it Lola, and paints it bubble gum pink. Now she has a secret of her own; the girl's got a gun now - her very own defense - and nobody can take it away from her.
