Clementine
A heartbroken woman becomes entangled with a younger girl after breaking into her ex's lake house in the Pacific Northwest. Equal parts psychological drama and sexual coming-of-age story, Clementine is a tense rumination on who to love and how to let go.
Clementine was developed with the support of the Venice Biennale College-Cinema, the Sundance Institute, Film Independent, and IFP. It stars Otmara Marrero (Crackle’s “Start-up”), Sydney Sweeney (Hulu’s THE HANDMAID'S TALE, HBO’s SHARP OBJECTS), Will Brittain (KONG: SKULL ISLAND, EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!!), and Sonya Walger (ABC’s THE CATCH and LOST).
