Eighteen-year-old Dawn has never met her father; raised by her mother in a rural New Hampshire town, they are barely getting by. Dawn works at a bait and tackle shop by day and turns tricks at night to fund an escape from her dead-end life. A cascade of bad events set Dawn on the road to find the father her mother doesn’t want her to find. He’s not so keen on the idea either. Our guest, Aaron Wiederspahn wrote, directed and starred in the film, “Only Daughter.”
The film is being screened in Portsmouth Thursday night during the New Hampshire Film Festival’s “New Hampshire Night” competition as well as on Sunday. Both screenings will feature a live Q&A.
