With Vanessa Hudgens as Executive Producer, Oliver Trevena as Producer, Morgan Marcell (Hamilton, Moulin Rouge) as Creative Producer, and Laura New at the helm as Writer-Director, America delivers a gripping story that challenges perspectives, ignites conversation, and refuses to look away.
America follows Valerie, a single mother who refuses to break. Determined to give her children, Daniel and Georgia, a better life, she pushes forward against all odds. But on the eve of their move, tragedy strikes. A school shooting shatters their world, forcing Valerie to confront an unthinkable question: Are her children victims… or perpetrators?
Our short film is a raw and urgent exploration of resilience, sacrifice, and a mother’s fierce love. America lays bare the devastating reality of gun violence and its ripple effects on families and schools.
