Jengo's Summer Film Series- "George Washington"

Jengo's Playhouse presents the Summer Film Series, a nine-week showcase of local gems, regional highlights, and festival favorites. Shot in the landscape of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, George Washington is a stunning portrait of how a group of young kids come to grips with a hard world of choices and consequences. During an innocent game in an abandoned amusement park, a member of the group dies. Narrated by one of the children, the film follows the kids as they struggle to balance their own ambitions and relationships against a tragic lie. The acting by the non-professional children is phenomenal; it is both instinctive and intelligent. David Gordon Green is known as a producer in films and TV shows like -- Halloween Kills, Halloween Ends, The Righteous Gemstones, Nutcrackers, and more! After Green graduated from UNCSA, he directed and produced George Washington, which was his debut feature film and screened multiple film festivals including Cucalorus in 2001!
