Wildwood, NJ played at the 1994 Atlanta Film Festival (Page 21) and was produced with support from IMAGE Film & Video (later named ATLFS). Now the film makes a return with A special screening with Ruth Leitman in attendance! Sponsored by Videodrome.

Everyone needs more Wildwood, NJ in their lives. Shot on dreamy Super 8 film by directors Ruth Leitman and Carol Weaks Cassidy with an all-women crew, this documentary shines a light on the lives of women from Wildwood, New Jersey—the last great American carnival town. From go-go dancers to girls who work as vampires in the boardwalk haunted house, the film moves beyond big hair and press-on nails to look into the souls of women raised on the boardwalk's rides, neon lights, and beaches. It’s easy to see why Lana Del Rey included footage from the movie in her "Diet Mountain Dew" music video.
