WILDWOOD, NJ
by Ruth Leitman & Carol Weaks Cassidy. 1994, USA, 59 min.
A vivid time capsule of the South Jersey shore in the ‘90s. Documentarians Ruth Leitman & Carol Weaks Cassidy interview the young women they meet on the boardwalk about their hopes and dreams, capturing the electric rush of fleeting friendships, flings, and fights under the neon glow of amusement park lights. Filmed on Super 8 with an all-woman crew, Wildwood, NJ is a luminous document of summer freedom on the boardwalk.
