“Wise Kids” to Screen at Anitoch University

On Wednesday, May 2 at 4 pm, Antioch University Los Angeles’s BA Psych Film Series will present a screening of ‘The Wise Kids‘ followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Stephen Cone.

A vivid, dynamic Southern coming-of-age drama, takes place in the transitional space between high school and college, when life seems to be all questions and no answers, and the future is scarily wide open. Set in and around a Charleston, SC Baptist church, weaving through this ensemble piece are three main characters – Brea, an introspective pastor’s daughter experiencing debilitating doubt, the hyperactive Laura, Brea’s best friend and a devout believer, and Tim, the open-hearted son of a single father, confronting his homosexuality for the first time. Tensions and buried feelings abound, as colleges are chosen and adults behave badly, as Brea, Laura and Tim attempt to hang onto what they have, all the while yearning to break free.

‘The Wise Kids’ is winner of the Outfest Grand Jury Award for Dramatic Feature Film. This will be its Los Angeles premiere.

Please join us for popcorn, refreshments and a provocative conversation on faith, sexuality and adolescence!

Admission is free. For any questions, please contact:
