J.W. George

A cashier working the late shift at a local gas station weathers a series of strange events over the course of a seemingly endless night.

My hometown is one of those middle-of-nowhere, American as apple pie towns. I realized as I grew up, that the visage the town put up was incongruous with what was beneath the surface. Lies, murder, infidelity, sins, crime, are the realities of everyday life that are so often overlooked to present a sanitized vision of what life “should” be. I chose to make this film to wrestle with the horrors and anxieties of small-town domestic life and toxic, seemingly inescapable relationships.
