The New Waterford Girl
This
tale was inspired by scripter Fish's high-school reunion in New Waterford, where
she discovered a new breed of girl (hence, the title). It riffs off the old
city mouse, country mouse fable: All that Mooney wants is to become a writer
and get out of town, while city slicker Lou thinks she's found the perfect place
and yearns to fit in.

Reviews
The New York Times
"Liane Balaban, an 18-year-old from Toronto making her first film appearance in the role of Mooney, is like an angrier, more angular Winona Rider."indieWIRE
"This low-budget Canadian independent ends up being a nice breeze on the cinematic landscape -- not overpowering, but gentle and drifting, like the kind that wafts in from the shore."
