Posted on Wednesday, February 3rd, 2021 by Chris Evangelista Today, the Golden Globe nominations were announced, and the results were pretty bad! So perhaps we should try to cleanse our palates with the 2021 Sundance Film Festival awards. This year’s Sundance was virtual, and while that experience can’t hold a candle to being on the ground in Park City, the festival organizers deserver lots of credit for putting the fest together in any capacity and running it smoothly. While I found a lot of the films I saw this year to be lacking, there were still plenty of noteworthy titles. Lots of attention was paid to ....
A documentary about students at an El Paso High School who are interested in pursuing careers in law enforcement. Director Maisie Crow says 900 schools in Texas have “some sort of criminal justice class or program.” As a Marfa resident herself, who covers the complexities of life along the U.S.-Mexico border through her work as editor-in-chief of the Big Bend Sentinel and Presidio Internacional newspapers, Crow told Texas Standard she was especially interested in exploring the role of law enforcement in Far West Texas. “One of the things I love most about El Paso is its relationship to Juarez,” Crow said. “It really is one city divided by a border, and these kids really do live a cross-border life.

It’s even worse when there’s nothing to do, which is why teen girls Autumn, Brittney, and Aaloni often find themselves passing the time and escaping parents in their small Texas town by drinking, smoking, and hanging out with older dudes and gun-toting bros. And directors ....
2021 Sundance Film Festival Review – Cusp SYNOPSIS: In a Texas military town, three teenage girls confront the dark corners of adolescence at the end of a fever dream summer. The first sight in Parker Hill and Isabel Bethencourt’s documentary Cusp couldn’t more literally visualise its central thematic, observing two young girls hanging out on a swing while two boys in the background fire off automatic rifles and pistols. As the girls take selfies and banter amongst themselves, they’re blissfully unbothered that danger whizzes by mere feet from where they’re laying. Cusp sees Hill and Bethencourt embedded with a trio of Texan teenage girls – Britney, Aaloni, and Autumn – over one summer, watching but never judging as they fill their hours by drinking, hooking up with boys, firing guns, and taking treacherous joyrides. ....
