I caught this slice of life film at the Vail Film Festival and was blown away by its' subtle brilliance! We've all seen films about family and forgiveness, but never before like this.
The writing was spot on, and the performances were genuine in that raw indie way that we all love. Technically a "coming of age" film, DROUGHT manages to transcend all demographics and avoids falling into any clichés. Very unique. It effortlessly represents the unrepresented and creates space for the characters (and the audience) to learn something new about themselves. The kind of film you're excited to share - one that you can (and want to) watch with anyone. It's refreshing, to say the least!
Also, I can't believe this is the first time out for directing team, Hannah & Megan. Well done, ladies :)
