1.
This bittersweet teen comedy from director Jordan Brady (WAKING UP IN RENO) follows the travails of Rena (Jena Malone), a teenager who dreams of an impossibly utopian existence. Sat sadly slumped in an interminable trailer park world, her calamitous circumstances take a further downturn when her boyfriend hotfoots it out of her life after learning that Rena is pregnant. With a world-weary sigh she instead focuses her attentions on her errant father, who is spending time behind bars due to a barbarous murder. The yearly prison picnic provides an opportunity for Rena to bring the family along, and after some cajoling, they attend. The resulting venture provides some comedic spills among the festivities, and a chance for Rena to consolidate her past, present, and possible futures.
