Story of a Girl
Part of the American Dreams Strand
Kyra Sedgwick makes a striking directorial debut with this powerful drama about a teen who struggles to deal with the fallout of a sex video gone viral. The impressive Ryann Shane stars as Deanna Lambert who was filmed having fumbling sex as a 13-year-old, by her brother’s best friend Tommy. Three years later, still trying to deal with the fallout of the video, she finds summer work at a local restaurant run by a winningly genial boss (a terrific Kevin Bacon) only to find an unrepentant Tommy also works there.
The screening at 8.30pm on Thursday 22 June will feature an introduction and post-screening Q&A with Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon, with a red carpet taking place at Cineworld from 7pm.
