About Sex and the U.S.A.
In a conservative California town, 14-year-old Audrey is new to Bellweather, California and certain she’ll never fit in when she meets Krista Rich, the pretty, popular girl she aspires to be or “be with" shes just not sure. Blending traditional filmmaking with social networking-inspired video clips, director Jan Wellmann paints a portrait of puberty and the hyperconnected lives of modern teens.
Directed by Jan Wellmann, Sex and the U.S.A. leans on a strong ensemble — Shayla Beesley, Jaime Perkins, Gwen Davis — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2008.
