Shot in 1994 on Super-8 film Wildwood takes you down the New Jersey shoreline with an all-women crew to the last great American blue-collar seaside carnival town. Glipse beyond the gum-cracking, big hair, and press-on nails and into the souls of women raised on boardwalk rides, lights and come-ons.

This fascinating collage gives a voice to the women of New Jersey, who are often overlooked in film. Grandmothers, go-go girls young, vibrant and opinionated women, speak about their lives, female friendship, love, dreams, sex and summer in New Jersey.

Featured in Sight & Sound’s ‘The Female Gaze: 100 Overlooked Films Directed by Women’ Wildwood deserves to be celebrated on the big screen in line with its release this year.
