THE SWEET EAST is a picaresque journey through the cities and woods of the Eastern seaboard of the United States. Lillian (Talia Ryder), a high school senior from South Carolina, gets her first glimpse of the wider world on a class trip to Washington, D.C. Separated from her schoolmates, she embarks on a fractured road trip in search of America. Along the way, she falls in with a variety of strange factions, each living out their own alternative realities in our present day. The film is the directorial debut of internationally renowned US cinematographer Sean Price Williams (GOOD TIME) whom The New Yorker described as “the cinematographer for many of the best and most significant independent films of the past decade.”
