From filmmakers Ethan Gathman and Jorge Rodriguez, Jit is a surreal Florida mystery. After a short stint in jail, Alex, a young Florida Man, investigates his brother’s disappearance and uncovers ties to a nearby senior citizen trailer park, where the wildest conspiracies turn out to be hiding in plain sight.
What if the conspiracy filled rants of “Florida Man” were actually true? Jit dives headfirst into the bizarre, sun baked local underbelly, proving that in Florida, the most outrageous explanation is usually the right one.
“A psychedelic trip through the country’s most psychedelic state. A must see if it comes to a theater near you!”
“Deranged and Conner O’Malley-ian. This is what it feels like to hit a fake cart and bike through Florida.”
Members of the Jit team will be attending the screening for a Q&A afterward.
