Directed by Connor Paradis

In 1982, on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the wealthy, articulate pot-smoking teenagers who were small children in the '60s have emerged as young adults in a country that has just resoundingly rejected everything they were brought up to believe in. In meticulous, hilarious, and agonizing detail, THIS IS OUR YOUTH follows forty-eight hours in the lives of three very lost young souls at the dawn of the Reagan Era: Warren Straub, a dejected nineteen-year-old who steals fifteen thousand dollars from his abusive lingerie-tycoon father; Dennis Ziegler, his charismatic domineering drug-dealing friend who convinces him to spend it all on cocaine in a fool's attempt to triple it; and Jessica Goldman, an anxiously insightful young woman trying with very little success to make any sense at all of her life. Funny, painful, and compassionate, THIS IS OUR YOUTH is a living snapshot of the moment between adolescence and adulthood that strange interlude where you have no idea yet who they are, but are just smart enough to know that they don't have a clue.

Starring: Alex Koester, Jack Samuels, & Emery Henderson
