Inspired by true experiences of grief, girlhood, and growing up, Jessie Barr’s SOPHIE JONES provides a stirring portrait of a sixteen-year-old. Stunned by the untimely death of her mother and struggling with the myriad challenges of teendom, Sophie (played with striking immediacy by the director’s cousin Jessica Barr) tries everything she can to feel something again, while holding herself together, in this sensitive, acutely realized, and utterly relatable coming-of-age story.
After the sudden death of her father, sixteen-year-old Joey Javitts is sent to stay with her grandparents while her author mother promotes her latest novel. Joey promptly falls for the beguiling goth boy next door, Victor, and is transformed by him and his merry band of misfits in black. A coming-of-age story about the sometimes painful—and often entertaining—search for identity and love in adolescence.
