SCARED NEW WORLD (2006)
SCARED NEW WORLD
Chris Brown (US, 2005, 81 min)
Drama, Independent
A substitute teacher and struggling novelist, a pot-dealing single mother and a sexually reckless French exchange student share a house in Oakland. Their intertwining lives, and the lives of those they touch, are brought to the screen with tenderness and grace. The filmmakers use acting and dialogue instead of special effects to tell a story that augurs a bright future of filmmaking.
