George Washington
Down this twisted road, please watch over my soul and lift me up so gently so as not to touch the ground.
Directed by David Gordon Green
Produced by Youandwhatarmy Filmed Challenges, Blue Moon Productions
A haunting coming-of-age meditation on childhood innocence shattered by accidental death, told through the eyes of children grappling with guilt, secrecy, and moral complexity in a poor Southern town.
During an innocent game in an abandoned amusement park, a member of the group dies. Narrated by one of the children, the film follows the kids as they struggle to balance their own ambitions and relationships against a tragic lie.
