Mom

A loose, chatty indie comedy that ambles through small-town quirks and flirtation, charming more through personality than polish.

Directed by
Erin Greenwell
Overview
Emily Burton plays Kelly, an aspiring TV news reporter who is sent off to the town of Little Hope conduct marketing interviews with Linda (comedian Julie Goldman), a butch, talkative cameraperson who has aspirations of her own (she wants to be a tattoo artist). Unexpectedly stranded at a quirky youth hostel as the annual Chili Cook-Off hits town, Kelly just wants to get on to a career-changing interview while carefree Linda finds reasons to take her time when bored housewife enters the mix... Director Erin Greenwell takes us on a ride through humorous misadventures complete with snappy dialogue, sympathetic characters and intriguing relationships putting a Sapphic twist on the classic buddy comedy.
