Starry-eyed small town bankteller Suzanne Fountain (BONNIE DICKENSON) sells her powder blue compact and moves to New York City, plummeting headlong into a twisted mid-1990s NYC-summer nights’ wonderland of hipster wannabe’s, midnight rhinestone cowboys, ex-cheerleader shucksters, bisexual gigolos and dangerous, carrot be-wigged club kids! Acclaimed director Todd Verow’s 1990s opus is a DV odyssey that continually ratchets up the interesting. With its cinema verite feel, SHUCKING THE CURVE truly defies all categorization. Showing a side of New York that few have seen, this film was and continues to be an important and inspirational document of independent filmmaking.
