1120 S Lamar Blvd.
Lonely college freshman Alex (writer/director Cooper Raiff) has closed himself off from his peers, who all appear to have this whole "college thing" figured out. Alex's family is 1500 miles away and all he can think about is getting back to them. Everything changes one night when Alex takes a leap and attends a party at Shithouse, where he forges a strong connection with Maggie (Dylan Gelula, FIRST GIRL I LOVED). When she ignores him the next day and seems to have forgotten about their amazing night, Alex feels desperate for things to go back to how they were before.Programming descriptions are generated by participants and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of SXSW.
