Moondogs is a feminist retelling of a coming-of-age story. It twists the childhood adventure trope to explore how young women create a sense of self in contemporary America. In this short film, three teenage girls hit the road after the realization that one of them is pregnant. The external and internal struggles they face along the way shed contemplative light on the often-overlooked ways in which young women are forced to navigate their bodily autonomy, interpersonal relationships, and physical surroundings on the road to self-discovery.
