Jess + Moss movie scene

Sarah Hagan is a shadow of her memories in Jess + Moss.

The 2011 independent drama Jess + Moss,  directed and co-written by first-time feature filmmaker Clay Jeter, is tagged as “a lyrical tale of two solitary, playful and young souls.”

The tale tells of 18-year-old Jess (Sarah Hagan, TV’s Freaks and Geeks) and 12-year-old Moss (Austin Vickers in his film debut) are a pair of second cousins who have spent many summers together in the tobacco fields of rural Western Kentucky. Without immediate families that they can relate to, and lacking friends their own age, they only have each other. Over the course of one summer, they venture out on a journey exploring deep secrets, identity and hopes of the future in the wilds of their world.

Told through a series of memory-drench vignettes, Jess + Moss was a 2011 film festival favorite, receiving positive notices at Sundance and at major fests in such cities as Berlin, Hong Kong, Calgary, Jerusalem, Deauville, Athens and Turin. Its release on DVD by Strand marks its commercial premiere in the U.S.

The DVD is packed with bonus materials which include the following:

  • Commentary by director Clay Jeter, actor Sarah Hagan, cinematographer Will Basanta and editor Isaac Hagy
  • Deleted and alternate scenes
  • Featurette
  • Stills gallery
  • Trailer
