Red-Band Trailer For WHITE GIRL: Sex, Drugs, and Bad Decisions
Here's the red-band, NSFW trailer for an indie film called White Girl, which stars Morgan Saylor, who played Brody's daughter Dana on Homeland. The film, which played at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, follows a college-aged white girl who gets involved with a Puerto Rican drug dealer, and while this may all seem very familiar, there's one exceptional thing worth noting about this movie — it's the directorial debut of Elizabeth Wood. I'd never heard of her before today, but The Playlist says she's met with Marvel Studios about directing Captain Marvel, so clearly Kevin Feige or one of his cohorts saw some major potential in this movie that might be of interest to you if you're a comic book movie fan. It's supposed to hit theaters this September, so keep your eyes peeled.
The cross section between New York’s mean streets and its gentrified alcoves makes for potent social satire in Elizabeth Wood’s tough and exhilarating debut. Equipped with platinum blonde hair and a winning smile, college girl Leah (Morgan Saylor) seeks out pleasure in any form. She has two weeks before fall semester, and in between getting high with her roommate and snorting lines with her boss, she finds time to hit it off with a handsome, young Puerto Rican drug dealer named Blue. Within days, the two are selling dime bags to her affluent white colleagues, collecting fast cash, and living the high life. But their euphoria comes to a grinding halt once Blue is arrested and Leah’s left with a hefty amount of his coke. Does she sell it to save him or use it herself?
