Gina, an Actress, Age 29

A budding actress in Knoxville, Tennessee is hired to help bust a union-organizing effort, but in her eagerness to take her first paying role, Gina ignores the ethical dimensions of her job and gets in over her head. Ultimately, through her decisions (and mistakes), Gina discovers something about herself and about integrity in the face of ambition.

Filmed on location in Paul Harrill’s hometown of Knoxville, Gina, An Actress, Age 29 articulates its regionalism through its unhurried pacing and its sensitivity to the economics of place.
