These documentary shorts explore the joys, struggles, and complexities of growing up in the South. From small-town traditions to family dynamics and cultural rituals, the films capture the rich textures of Southern life—its humor, its heartbreak, and the unforgettable characters who shape it. Together, they paint a vivid portrait of what it means to come of age in this distinctive region.

This film blurs the lines between reality and fantasy as well as present and archival media. A reflective piece on youth and growing up, the film tells the story of a young woman returning to her family's farm home to pack up her childhood room.
