From its
success at the Sundance Film Festival, Anywhere
USA is a series of shorts skits that make fun of American culture that
you can find anywhere. Topics include
American stereotypes, prejudices, racism, values and more... To feature America's worst at their best in a
comic parodies and how Americans can laugh at their own idiosyncrasies. Watch a group of amateur actors as they show
you what it is to be in America.
This film features 3 skits that are relate to each other but unconnected at the
same time, Penance, Loss, and Ignorance. A story of a man who is kicked out his house
and his wife discovers internet porn, an 8 year-old girl who accidentally eats
'adult' brownies, middle-age man white man and his sudden interest in black
man. There are one or two things
which any American can relate to...
Get ready for moustaches, RC racing midgets, drugs, the tooth fairy, and middle-age
men with mid-life crisis. The film makes
fun of various aspects within the American
culture, the irony that a man's penance after cheating on
his wife is to watch her have an internet affair, how American drug culture has
led to the loss of American youth's innocence, and all the meanwhile
any neatly trimmed bearded white man is automatically
given life of leisure to contemplate his own ignorance without realizing
he is a racist. Extras include
Director's commentary, making of featurette, Jacksonville Film Festival
Acceptance speech, photos, coming attractions and trailers.
