Set in a small military town in Texas, CUSP chases three wild-spirited teenage girls as they live out a fever-dream summer, when the strictures of adolescence clash with the growing desire for personal agency. SHOWTIME is planning a theatrical release ahead of a network premiere later this year. The announcement was made by Vinnie Malhotra, Executive Vice President, Nonfiction Programming, Showtime Networks Inc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to be working with Parker and Isabel, who, much like their subjects, are on their own cusp with this emotional and striking first feature,&#8221; said Malhotra. &#8220;The raw intimacy they capture, and the stories they draw from their subjects, are incredible when you consider where they are in their careers.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"morty-3288173640\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>Shot in v\u00e9rit\u00e9 style, CUSP captures authentic moments of female friendship while examining what it means to grow up in a culture of toxic masculinity. Though the girls&#8217; experiences are completely unique to their upbringing, CUSP is also a strikingly universal coming-of-age tale &#8211; and true-to-life, at turns funny, tragic, complicated, and stirring.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are honored to be partnering with Vinnie and the team at SHOWTIME to share CUSP with audiences around the world,&#8221; said Hill and Bethencourt. &#8220;Their fearless dedication to uplifting bold and unflinching stories is inspiring. We&#8217;re forever grateful to the incredible young women who shared their lives with us, and we hope that their bravery and strength encourage others to feel less alone and speak up.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the kind of film we love &#8211; fearless, honest and unflinching &#8211; and SHOWTIME is the perfect partner to bring this story to the world,&#8221; said Jenifer Westphal, Founder and CEO of Wavelength, and Executive Producer, CUSP.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;CUSP is a profound piece of filmmaking. What Isabel and Parker have accomplished is extraordinary,&#8221; said Chris Columbus, President, Maiden Voyage Pictures, and Executive Producer, CUSP. &#8220;The cinema verit\u00e9 look into these young women&#8217;s lives is emotionally devastating and unlike anything I&#8217;ve ever seen in American film.
