A young girl fears her mother's illness is contagious.
A Slamdance Grand Jury prize winner and Student Academy Award finalist, TWITCH portrays a young girl torn between two worlds: caring for her disabled mother and escaping into the world of adolescence with her new boyfriend.
TWITCH has screened in over 200 film festivals worldwide, won a dozen international awards, and is currently airing on IFC, Channel Thirteen and Skandinavia TV.
