THE SEND-OFF

Directed by Patrick Bresnan, Ivete Lucas · 2016

On prom night, a rural town throws a giant block party to send off its high school students, who step into the evening hoping to rise beyond their industrial surroundings.

A luminous, observational snapshot of youth, pride and hope on one unforgettable night.

Emboldened by a giant block party on the evening of their high school prom, a group of students enter the night with the hope of transcending their rural town and the industrial landscape that surrounds them.
