Newly Streaming: Local Connection
Beast Beast
Writer-director Danny Madden’s portrait of teenhood in a Southern town intersects the stories of three Zoomers: Krista, a suburban theater geek; Nito, a skater scraping by with little support from his negligent dad; and Adam, a recent high school grad obsessed with guns and his fledgling target-shooting YouTube channel. While they come from disparate backgrounds, each character shares a desire to be seen and accepted in their alienated world, and when they do finally meet, the tone shifts from introspective to chaotic as the trio plots for viral fame on social media.
