Little known and rarely screened, Wildwood NJ is a uniquely honest slice of kitsch Americana waiting to be rediscovered. Shot in 1994 by on Super-8 film by an all-female crew, Wildwood NJ takes you down the New Jersey shoreline to the last great seaside carnival town. From go-go girls to grandmas, meet vibrant and opinionated New Jersey women who were raised on big hair and press-on-nails, talking of sex, summer and friendship amongst the boardwalk rides.
