Film Festival, slating it for release in theaters later this year. Financials weren’t disclosed.
The film written and directed by Parmet follows 17-year-old Jem Starling , who struggles to define her place within her fundamentalist Christian community in rural Kentucky. Even her greatest joy — the church dance group — is tempered by worry that her love of dance is actually sinful, and she’s caught between a burgeoning awareness of her own sexuality and an instinctive resistance to her mom’s urging that the time has come to begin courting.
