Putty Hill

Streaming video - 2011

A beautifully realized portrait of a close-knit community on the outskirts of Baltimore, PUTTY HILL is the second feature from celebrated young filmmaker Matt Porterfield (*Sollers Point, I Used to Be Darker*). At a neighborhood karaoke bar, friends and family gather to remember a young man who passed away. Knowing little about his final days, they attempt to reconstruct his life. In the process, they offer a window onto their own lives, an evocative picture of working-class America, dislocated from the progress and mobility around them, but united in pursuit of a shared dream. Nominated for an Emerging Visions Award at the **SXSW Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. "*Four Stars! A great, ...deep, powerful new indie film.*" — Roger Ebert
