Higher Ground Trailer
Vera Farmiga's directorial debut, Higher Ground, is a coming-of-age drama in which Farmiga delivers a subtle, nuanced performance completely from the gut, with equally strong and compelling supporting characters. Set against the backdrop of the Sixties, when feminism reached its zenith, the film expertly depicts the landscape of a tight-knit spiritual community. Inspired by the resonant memoir from Carolyn Briggs (who also wrote the screenplay) the film is an exquisite study of one woman's internal struggle with the primary love relationships in her life. John Hawkes, Donna Murphy, Bill Irwin, Dagmara Dominczyk, and Joshua Leonard round out the cast, along with Vera Farmiga's younger sister Taissa Farmiga, who proves herself to be an extraordinary new talent as Young Corinne.
Higher Ground was released August 26th, 2011 and stars Vera Farmiga, Donna Murphy, John Hawkes, Dagmara Dominczyk, Nina Arianda, Taissa Farmiga, Joshua Leonard, Bill Irwin. The film is directed by Vera Farmiga.

@dan1 I agree with you about Farmiga, she is stunning but i am curious to see how she does behind the camera. I am willing to give her a chance.

I like Farmiga, I could stare at her eyes all day long, but I have zero interest in this movie.
