American Baby
Delicate and touching debut feature by the incredibly talented
@lnrod .
The film had its US premiere at the Austin Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature, and is now continuing its festival journey.
This is a story about a 15 year old girl, played by the incredible
@abby_pniowsky , whose character becomes pregnant in a small town in Texas, and for me it’s about how, in a moment of crisis, you can find yourself completely alone, abandoned by everyone, even close friends and family.
This film is very important to me. We had an amazing crew, resilient beyond any limits, working day after day in brutal Texas heat, over 110°F, still showing up and delivering no matter what.
Huge thanks to Mr.
@lucasford and
@peppermint_pattie for being absofruetly wonderful and caring, and for making it possible for us to shoot with Panavision Dallas.
And a very special thank you to
@kseniasereda for connecting me with Ellen and bringing this whole thing together in the first place. Those beautiful times could never have happened without you.
Grateful for every single person who was part of this and miss you all to eternity 🤍
