America is a six-to-eight part television series by filmmaker Jessica Dunn Rovinelli (So Pretty, 2019, Empathy, 2016), that follows the odd couple-cum-love story between a transgender American man, Paul (Phoebe DeGroot, So Pretty) and an alcoholic Yugoslavian cowboy Dane (film director Dane Komljen). After meeting in the southwest of America, they embark on a motorcycle trip across the country, traversing the iconic geography of the United States, its salt flats and pine forests, plains and mountains. 
They encounter ketamine-fueled raves filled with gender deviants, a collective of transwomen teaching themselves to shoot guns in a rural commune, and monster-truck rallies of freaks and queers, among other moments of atypical yet somehow typical American experience filtered through Rovinelli’s distinctive documentary-fiction lens.

America is another America, an attempt to tell a new great American story that grants the same mythmaking qualities as the other Americans that have too often overshadowed the nation’s consciousness.
