    Strictly Brohibited presents SMOOTH TALK, now show Strictly Brohibited presents SMOOTH TALK, now showing on The Brattlite: brattlefilm.org/brattlite (link in profile) Suspended between carefree youth and the harsh realities of the adult world, a teenage girl experiences an unsettling awakening in this haunting vision of innocence lost. Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ celebrated short story “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?” and produced for PBS’ American Playhouse, the narrative debut from director Joyce Chopra features a revelatory breakout performance from Laura Dern as Connie, the fifteen-year-old black sheep of her family whose summertime idyll of beach trips, mall hangouts, and innocent flirtations is shattered by an encounter with a mysterious stranger (a memorably menacing Treat Williams). Winner of the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, SMOOTH TALK captures the thrill and terror of adolescent sexual exploration as it transforms the ingredients of a standard coming of age portrait into something altogether more troubling and profound. #SmoothTalk #JoyceChopra #LauraDern #TreatWilliams #comingofage #JoyceCarolOates #WhereAreYouGoing #WhereHaveYouBeen #PBS #AmericanPlayhouse #blacksheep #Sundance #grandjuryprize #StrictlyBrohibited #JanusFilms

    In a world that undulates between fact and fiction In a world that undulates between fact and fiction, digital and physical, a group of SoundCloud rappers lives a solitary, post-societal existence in the desert town of Crestone, Colorado. Once a religious and spiritual mecca for many, Crestone’s endless sand dunes, waterfalls, and dark caves act as a backdrop for images of tattooed bodies, cosplay wardrobes, and clouds of weed smoke. CRESTONE explores the often hidden aspects of collaboration and friendship as well as the human desire to persist against all odds. What does music sound like if there is no one left to repost and share it? Premiere Run!
