Frogtown

One night Cassie (Alanna Blair) indulges in some old habits and passes out in an alley. When she wakes, she finds in her pocket a strange Polaroid of herself with a mysterious man. This brush with the unknown draws her away from home and inexorably down a rabbit hole peopled with urchins, dealers, and a host of characters that the rest of the world has forgotten. For Cassie every choice leads her closer to the strangers in the picture - not only the man whose name is whispered among vagrants, but the woman she thought she knew as well.

Directed by C. Andrew Hall, Frogtown leans on a strong ensemble — Alanna Blair, Robert Ray Manning Jr., Steve Berg — 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 2011.
