Young & Wild

Daniela is an angst-ridden 17-year-old who finds that her raging sexual drive is difficult to reconcile with the orders of her religion and the expectations of her well-to-do, evangelical family. With no outlet for her desire, Daniela taps into an online network of other restless teenagers through her sexually charged blog. In addition to being a playful, energetic and, at times, uncomfortably explicit coming-of-age story, Joven y Alocada is fresh and innovative in its format.

''Young and Wild''  is based on the true story of Camila Gutiérrez, a young Chilean educated within the bosom of an evangelical family, who feels repressed and unable to come to terms with her confused sexuality and anxiousness to experiment and decides to tell her stories through a platform that is inaccessible to her parents. The Internet offers just such an outlet: Fotolog, MSN and Blog---three tools that will become the escape routes of the protagonist. Marialy Rivas (the film director) started to follow the blog and decided to meet with the real "Young and Wild" woman in person; they had a coffee and decided to make the story into a film. The film, which employs a pop aesthetic and references associated with gay culture, garnered thousands of followers and a wide audience. The film subsequently won the best screenplay award at Sundance 2012, where it had its world premiere. You can follow ‘’Joven y Alocada’’ at http://jovenyalocada.blogspot.ca/

If this movie is able to raise questions in people’s souls regarding how they perceive their sexuality, and of how much guilt, pain, phobia or hatred derives from absurd notions of misunderstood religion, I will be the happiest woman to walk this earth. --Marialy Rivas, director.
