“I wanted to do a visually-crafted movie. I wanted it to be very quiet, and very formal, and very classic in its aesthetic approach. And I hadn't been seeing these. I thought, where are the directors who know their lenses? There's so much of this handheld free-for-all. I got frustrated, then I thought, instead of me bitching and moaning about it, why not go and do something? Something that I can showcase for audiences, and see if they respond?”

    PUTTY HILL

    MATTHEW PORTERFIELD United States, 2010

    Featuring the great pop star Sky Ferreira (!) in her acting debut (!!), this delicate portrait of disenchantment in a Baltimore suburb is told in a wandering form to give direct voice to the pulse and connection of a community. Putty Hill is remarkable distillation of a time, place, and feeling.
