Year of the Fox – Watch the trailer for the new coming-of-age drama from Megan Griffiths

In the rarefied air of 1990s Aspen, teenage Ivy (Sarah Jeffery, The Six Triple Eight) is grappling with her emerging sexuality amid the emotional fallout of her parents’ divorce. When her father invites her into the elite party scene, Ivy catches the attention of a wealthy predatory figure, and she and her friends begin to play with rules they haven’t written and don’t fully understand. As illusions crumble and role models disappoint, Ivy must determine whether to follow the paths of her peers and the women before her or forge her way on her own terms.

Directed by veteran filmmaker Megan Griffiths and drawn from writer/producer Eliza Flug’s own adolescent experiences, this intimate coming-of-age portrait explores the collision of innocence, power, and privilege across one year of a girl’s life.

Year of the Fox stars Sarah Jeffery, Jane Adams, Jake Weber, Lexi Simonsen and Balthazar Getty.

Now playing in Seattle and Portland. Opens in Los Angeles on August 1st at Laemmle NoHo, Available on Digital Platforms on August 19th
