Small Time Trailer
Small Time is about a girl growing up in rural America in the shadow of the opioid crisis and “the war on terror”. The film takes an empathetic and at times darkly humorous look at life, faith, and childhood, and presents a difficult, raw view of addiction, PTSD, and the family traumas they create. Small Time emphasizes the intimate stories of lives rather than the impersonal statistics of death that at times dominate the dialogue.
This is a story about family, childhood, and the complex ways in which we are formed as people. Emma navigates a dysfunctional adult world of relentless addiction, stubborn patriotism, dogmatic faith, and the pervasive sexualization of young girls. Her challenge is to emerge with a sense of self.
New York Filmmaker Niav Conty Screens “Small Time” Drama at 19th annual Female Eye Film Festival March 26-28.
The Female Eye Film Festival provides an exclusive showcase for Canadian and international independent women directors and pays tribute to the best and the brightest the film and television industry has to offer. FeFF was voted one of the World’s Top Fifty Film Festivals by MovieMaker magazine for the ninth consecutive year in 2021. FeFF is an international competitive film festival for women directors that bridges the gap between the written, visual, and media arts.
FeFF has reinvented itself for 2021, like so many others in the cultural sectors, because of the pandemic and subsequent lockdown. It will honour its tradition of presenting films directed by women digitally while unpacking a robust series of Industry Initiatives virtually.
