Alice-Heart [In-Person]

Directed By Mike Macera

USA | Narrative | 93 min

This screening will be followed by a filmmaker Q&A.

ALICE-HEART is an aimless college student residing in Philadelphia. She aspires to be a successful writer but drops out of school in her last semester of senior year on a whim. Immediately cut off from her disappointed Filipino mother and dumped by her studious boyfriend, she finds that she has to pay bills on her own for the first time.

Distraught, she takes solace in her neighbor Tony, a self sufficient freelance photographer who encourages her to pursue her passions and hold onto her friendships. With this in mind, ALICE-HEART navigates the beginnings of adulthood and combats “adult baby” allegations along the way.
