Bloomington (2010) is a coming-of-age drama that delves into themes of identity, independence, and forbidden love. Directed by Fernanda Cardoso, the film explores the complicated journey of a former child actress as she navigates her way through college and discovers her own voice, both intellectually and emotionally. Starring Allison McAtee in the leading role, Bloomington takes a deep, thoughtful look at the struggles of youth, the search for autonomy, and the complex nature of relationships.

The story centers on Jackie (Allison McAtee), a young woman who has recently enrolled in college after leaving behind her childhood fame as a popular TV star. Eager to find her own path and escape the shadow of her former life, Jackie is determined to redefine herself as an adult. However, her search for independence is soon complicated when she forms a romantic relationship with her college professor, Catherine (Sarah Stouffer), a relationship that blurs the lines between professional and personal boundaries. As Jackie becomes increasingly drawn to Catherine, the film examines the complexities of love, attraction, and self-discovery.
