A story of a young nonconformist growing up in America’s second planned housing community, Levittown portrays life in the late 1970s with a sardonic eye trained on the country’s time-honored traditions and questionable preoccupations. Set against a backdrop of classic rock, NASCAR and elementary school life, Levittown is the tale of a young boy named Michael trying to find himself amid a swirling tide of scripted patriotism and false hopes.

“Poignant and provocative, Levittown pulls no punches as it unpacks familial dysfunction and skewers the American suburban dream through adolescent eyes. Though rooted in ’70s malaise, it still offers hope for a better tomorrow, provided one goes their own way instead of following the herd.” — Martin Penn-Woods
