Equipped with platinum blonde hair and a winning smile, NYC college girl Leah (Homeland’s Morgan Saylor) seeks out pleasure in any form. Between getting high with her roommate and snorting lines with her boss, Leah falls for Blue (Brian Marc), a young man dealing drugs on her corner.
Within days, the two are selling dime bags to her boss (The Hangover’s Justin Bartha) and his downtown friends, collecting fast cash, and living the high life.. But summer love crashes to a halt when Blue is arrested and Leah is left with a ton of his coke. Enlisting the aid of an overpriced lawyer (Chris Noth) Leah finds herself deep in debt and over her head as she pushes all limits get Blue back.
Executive produced by Christine Vachon (Boys Don’t Cry, Kids) and deliriously filmed in and around New York City, White Girl thrashes through an increasingly high-stakes game of hedonism. Unspoken socioeconomic tensions – coupled with a blatant disregard for consequence – ignite in a fearless exploration of race, gender and youth, inspired by the director’s own experiences.

OBIT is a first-ever glimpse into the daily rituals, joys and existential angst of the New York Times obit writers, as they chronicle life after death on the front lines of history.
Q&A with director Vanessa Gould following the screening.
Within the storied walls of The New York Times, a team of writers is entrusted with reflecting upon the lives of luminaries, icons, and world leaders of our day. Often hours before newspaper hits doorstep—and the world’s eyes devour words marking the end of a momentous life–endless detail is gathered and impossible choices must be made. Vanessa Gould’s fascinating documentary, Obit, introduces us to the unseen women and men responsible for crafting the unequaled obituaries of the NYT. As we’re taken through their painstaking process of digging through years of accomplishments, we learn about the particular pressures that accompany a career spent trying to elegantly and respectfully shape the story of a life for an audience of millions. From notorious politicians and beloved musicians to unknown personalities who have advanced the worlds of science, literature, and sports, the obit writers are in the unique and often unenviable position of spotlighting individuals whose impact and influence is near impossible to measure. —Liza Domnitz
