Cusp

Brittney, Aaloni and Autumn, three spirited teenage girls from a Texas military town, meet and befriend photographers and debut filmmakers Parker Hill and Isabel Bethencourt in a chance encounter one evening. Documenting snapshots of carefree adolescent summers, Hill and Bethencourt share a fascinating glimpse into authentic American girlhood when the constraints of being a teenager clash with the growing desire for personal agency. Shot in vérité style, CUSP is a strikingly universal coming-of-age story that captures authentic moments of female friendship while examining what it means to confront the dark realities of female adolescence.
