Overview
Backseat of the Couch follows four young artists navigating identity, ambition, and community in NYC. Sofie, an underground club dancer, drifts through fleeting nights. Anthony, a Black club kid battling an eating disorder, gives too much to his friends. Clyde, a lonely emo skater, searches for belonging. Vivienne, a trans actress, is manipulated by a predatory coach. A follow-up to Trial Period, Kiernan “Knives” Francis’ film shifts from club chaos to quiet introspection, capturing the raw, in-between moments of youth. Blending mumblecore and New Queer Cinema, it features first-time actors, a Midwest emo-infused soundtrack, and an unfiltered look at finding connection in a city that never stops moving.
