Winner of the Best Independent Film Award from the Boston Society of Film Critics, director Victor Nunez’s (Ulee’s Gold, Ruby in Paradise) Gal Young ‘un is considered a landmark work of the American independent film movement. Set in Florida in the 1930s, Gal Young‘ un involves an independent woman (Dana Preu) who marries a charming but self-indulgent man (David Peck) much younger than herself. As her husband becomes preoccupied with the young housekeeper (J. Smith) hired to help them, his wife struggles to maintain equilibrium in the relationship. Gal Young 'un was blessed with almost unanimous critical praise. Shot on location in rural Florida, the work was an obvious labor of love for Nunez who produced, directed, wrote, and shot the film.
