Watch Rose McGowan’s directorial debut Dawn

June 26, 2015 by Gary Collinson

Rose McGowan has stepped behind the camera for her directorial debut Dawn, a disturbing tale of a young girl’s budding sexuality and one’s desire to experience the unknown, and you can watch the acclaimed short in its entirety here…

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.
