#12. Dirty Girl
The Gist: With a cast that includes Juno Temple, Milla Jovovich, William H. Macy, Mary Steenburgen and Dwight Yoakam, this is set in 1986 – Norman, Oklahoma. Floral print jeans and abstinence are all the rage. Tasteless, classless, fatherless Danielle (Juno Temple) — the “dirty girl” of Norman High School — dreams of one day finding the father that ran out on her. When Danielle is banished to special ed, she teams up with a closet-case, Clarke (Jeremy Dozier), to go on a cross-country search for her father, fleeing the small town that has kept them both from being their true selves.
Director: Abe Sylvia
Sales Agent: The Salt Company
Selling Point: Essentially this is Juno Temple’s first time as top billing in a film, she is the next “it” actress if you look into 2011, and from what we can tell by the descriptive info we can assess from the film stills, and the fact that this was mentioned on the annual Black List (2007), means there is some spunk to this title and could work with a larger younger demo.
Suited For: A company like a Fox Searchlight who know how to cater to Juno crowds.
