Young and Innocent

When a tryst with her writing camp counselor goes sour, young poet Marion runs away to a nearby motel. There, she finds herself drawn to the withdrawn young clerk, Norman. But her haunting dreams of a missing local girl seem to indicate that Norman is more dangerous than he appears. This Hitchcock riff captures the dangerous allure of youthful passion in a dreamy romantic thriller that transcends mere homage. (Sidewalk Film Festival)
