Directed by David Gordon Green • 2000 • United States
Over the course of one hot summer, a group of children in the decaying rural South must confront a tangle of difficult choices. An ambitiously constructed, elegantly photographed meditation on adolescence, the first full-length film by director David Gordon Green features remarkable performances from an award-winning ensemble cast. George Washington is a startling and distinct work of contemporary American independent cinema.
Recorded in 2001, this commentary features writer/director David Gordon Green, cinematographer Tim Orr, and actor Paul Schneider.
This scene featuring a town meeting was not included in the final cut of GEORGE WASHINGTON.
