I Used to Be Darker
Directed by Matthew Porterfield
Produced by Steady Orbits, The Hamilton Film Group
A quiet, introspective coming-of-age drama about three women navigating displacement, family fracture, and the search for belonging in Baltimore.
When Taryn, a Northern Irish runaway, finds herself in trouble in Ocean City, MD, she seeks refuge with her aunt and uncle in Baltimore. But Kim and Bill have problems of their own: they’re trying to handle the end of their marriage gracefully for the sake of their daughter Abby, just home from her first year of college. A story of family revelations, looking for love and figuring out where to find it next.
