Days of August

Project notes

A dystopian romance feature film set in an alternate-history America where a resistance movement brews in the city of Harpswell.

In a dystopian Appalachia dominated by a tyrannical police state, Godfrey, the recluse author of an underground rebel newspaper, rediscovers the poetry journal of his lover, August. Reading it forces him to confront buried memories and the regrets of his upbringing as the son of an aristocrat within Harpswell's iron-fisted regime.
