Film Independent Members, you and a guest are invited to watch Cusp in our Film Independent Presents Online Screening Room, powered by Vision Media. A special pre-recorded conversation with directors/producers Parker Hill and Isabel Bethencourt, moderated by Josh Welsh (President, Film Independent), is included as part of this screening experience.

Brittney, Aaloni, and Autumn, three hilarious teenage girls living in a Texas military town, meet and befriend photographers and debut filmmakers Parker Hill and Isabel Bethencourt in a chance encounter one evening. During a roadtrip across America, documenting snapshots of carefree adolescent summers, Hill and Bethencourt are inspired to film the trio, following them to bonfire parties, fast food outings and bedroom hangouts where discussions around agency, opportunity, sex and consent unfold with candor. Shot in vérité style, Cusp captures authentic moments of female friendship while examining what it means to grow up in a culture of toxic masculinity. Though the girls’ experiences are completely unique to their upbringing, Cusp is also a strikingly universal coming-of-age tale — and true-to-life, at turns funny, tragic, complicated, and stirring.

Cusp is now available from SHOWTIME.
