Rockin My Hips Like Yeah

What happens when after the party, all you’re left with is the hangover? On its face Jared Sprouse’s feature Party USA (2026) is a taut thriller about grief and the things we do to protect ourselves and loved ones. Set under the banner of  the deep South, the film explores what happens when your ceiling is zero and your dreams and hopes go as far 1. And while it is certainly that, Party USA can also be looked at as a political statement about the danger of white women’s tears and the harm they cause to the people of color around them. In Party USA there is a villain, but it may not be who or what you think it is.
