American independent filmmaker
Deborah Kampmeier makes her writing and directing debut with the intimate
drama Virgin. In a small conservative town,
Jessie (
Elizabeth Moss) is the outcast teenager of a right-wing Christian family consisting of a strict dad (
Peter Gerety), an emotional mom (
Robin Wright Penn, who also produced), and an innocent sister (
Stephanie Gatschet). After spending an evening with local boy
Shane (
Charles Socarides),
Jessie is convinced that she's pregnant, although she has no memory of actually having sex. Her rebellious behavior isn't completely understood by her family or her community. The conclusion finds her meeting up with two other troubled women.
Virgin was shown at the
2003 IFP Los Angeles Film Festival.
