Rose McGowan's DAWN Trailer Delivers Uneasy Nostalgia
Primarily known as an actress in films like Planet Terror, The Doom Generation, Jawbreaker, and the TV series Charmed, Rose McGowan has developed a taste for directing. Her first short film, Dawn, will be on McGowan's own YouTube channel on June 21. 

The 17-minute film debuted at Sundance's 2014 festival and is officially described as "a disturbing tale of a young girl's budding sexuality and one's desire to experience the unknown. Dawn (Tara Barr) is a quiet young teenager living in Kennedy-era America who longs for something or someone to free her from her sheltered life. When she strikes up an innocent flirtation with the boy who works at her local gas station (Reiley McClendon), she thinks that he is perhaps the answer to her teenage dreams. Though when she invites the boy and his friends into her otherwise cloistered world, she gets a lot more than she bargained for."  

Judging from the trailer, which you can see below, the film appears to tread Lynchian territory while sporting vivid colors and impressive photography. I'm dying to see the film just from what Stephen Holden at The New York TImes had to say about Dawn: "The creepy directorial debut of actress Rose McGowan... lurches from bubblegum to menace."
