Cicada Song (2019)

Cicada Song: Directed by Michael Starr. With Lyndsey Lantz, Jenny Mesa, Kim Reed, Joseph Bottoms. Karen, left for dead in the wilderness, struggles to survive after uncovering a dark secret about the people in her Middle America hometown while searching for her missing Latina lover and a migrant child who disappeared without a trace.

“I was riveted through the entire movie waiting to find out who done it and how it would all turn out! Beautifully shot in rural America with quaint old towns, gorgeous scenery and a bit of nostalgia the cinematography plays against the tension of the reality. Performances are spot on, especially the two leading ladies and supporting actress/actors. The fact that it has a message and spotlights continuing struggles in rural communities is just a bonus!”
