Trash Baby
The year is 2003 and it’s another sweltering summer in Pine Park. After an unexpected run-in with the cool girl next door, Stevie (12) finds herself befriending trailer park queen and neighbor, Edie (20). Swirling in a new world of puberty, boys, and drinking, Stevie is convinced it is time to leave childhood behind in exchange for new friends and a world she has long romanticized.
That is until the reality of her new found idol’s life which contains fractured experiences of motherhood, corrupted innocence, and a world of violence starts to bleed into the frame. Soon Stevie must decide if she is truly ready to let innocence go or choose to embrace childhood while it lasts.
