Below is the first trailer for Short Term 12, a standout from the 2013 SXSW Film Festival where it took home the Grand Jury and Audience Awards and now Cinedigm will bring it to select theaters on August 23.
The film features Brie Larson (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street) as Grace, a twenty-something supervisor at a facility for at-risk teenagers, and follows her story through the highs and lows life has to offer from love to a troubled teenage girl with whom she has a charged connection.
Along with Larson the film co-stars John Gallagher Jr., Kaitlyn Dever (Bad Teacher), Rami Malek (The Master) and Keith Stanfield and was written and directed by Destin Cretton, adapted into feature form from his 2008 short film.
