Scared New World

Running time: 82 mins

Director Chris Brown (Daughters, Cinequest 1998) returns to the festival with his latest feature, the tale of a struggling novelist, a drug dealing mother, and a sexually reckless foreign exchange student. While sharing a house in Oakland, their lives intertwine to create a tempest that each must face in his/her own way. Brown?s direction is fluid and stylish, blending compelling characters with real-life drama and humor.
