In a trailer deposited in an unkempt pastoral glade, a woman who used to be an alternate on her high school tennis team beats her boyfriend senseless once a week.\u00a0 She beats him, cause, well he deserves it. It’s his act of redneck contrition…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a><\/span><\/span>Meanwhile, an eight-year-old girl finds accidental elucidation; the sort of awakening that makes her wonder if that guy next door driving the ’89 Subaru is, in fact, the guy she thinks it is…. <\/p>\n

On the other side of the tracks, over there where posh beards, Kobe beef steaks and manicured gardens go hand in hand, a man of privilege has an epiphany at the dinner table that ultimately leads to a contusion and a revelation.<\/p>\n

Told in three subtly related segments (Penance, Loss, and Ignorance), ANYWHERE USA is a du jour portrait of one man’s America inspired by and drawn from the director’s own experiences as both foreigner and citizen of these United States.<\/p>\n

Featuring a cast of mostly non-professionals and exploring passive racism, geo-political vagaries, good intentions, faith and disappointment, this deeply personal film manages to tread the lines between vulgar and humane, between absurd and tender, and finds its heart in the story segment featuring the director’s own daughter and a man living in a van.<\/p>\n

Quentin Tarantino<\/span><\/strong> states: <\/p>\n

“Anywhere U.S.A. reduces every audience that sees it into a delighted, giggling mob. The talented cast of non-professionals reminds one of what the word, ‘amateur’ really means: to love. As silly, provocative, risky and downright loose-screwed as Mr. Haney-Jardine and his cast are, the sense that they did this movie out of love – love for the weird, love for the unsayable idea, love for the privilege of movie making – proved to be one of the most moving experiences at the Sundance Film Festival<\/span>. It reminds one of the joy of sitting in an audience of strangers while everyone laughs hysterically.”<\/p>\n

“…there might just be some genius there. God help us.” – Moriarty, Ain’t It Cool News<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“Haney-Jardine’s film mixes striking still photos, text overlaid the images on the screen, a wry sense of the absurd in the everyday, the capacity to see the banal in the extraordinary, and the capacity to find the extraordinary in the everyday.” – James Rocchi<\/span>, Cinematical<\/em><\/p>\n

“High Art<\/span> crashes into THE DUKES OF HAZZARD…the most unusual of the dramatic competition films at this year’s SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL.” – Steve Ramos, indieWIRE<\/em><\/p>\n

“The performances, cinematography, trippy score and just the flat out strange stories are worth taking the ride. ” – Jason Guerrasio, eFilmmaker Magazin<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
