CGiii Comment

Small town confusions come to the big city.

This little film slipped under the radar - which is a pity because it deserves an audience.

Freeland is a talent and managed to keep his young cast on their toes.

Fine work.

The(ir) Blurb...

Are you young, sexually confused, just trying to get by? Do you sing, dance or possess some other talent? Welcome to the Garden Party. At the center of the story is 15-year-old April. She is running from one bad situation into another, hoping to find an answer that doesn't involve taking off her clothes. As April navigates Los Angeles, she falls in with a group of confused kids struggling to chase their dreams. The black widow at the center of this web is a sexy, pot-dealing realtor named Sally St. Clair. Anyone who gets too close falls victim to her kinky entanglements. For some it goes bad, for other worse.
