Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
JESS + MOSS
Synopsis
With no immediate family, nor any friends their own age, second cousins Jess, age 18, and Moss, age 12, only have each other. Over one summer, they venture on a journey through the dark-fire tobacco fields of their rural Western Kentucky, confronting their deepest secrets.

Our take
Shot on grainy film stock at the director’s family home, Jess+Moss is true American independent cinema, gorgeously shot and sound-scaped to capture the feeling of hazy childhood memories sliding away. A provocative, mesmerizing trip that premiered at Sundance.
