Hannah Fidell's valentine to Bloomington, Ind., "We're Glad You're Here," is also a valentine to twentysomething post-grads leaping into the job market and finding it hardly deep enough to even qualify as a wading pool. A native of Bethesda, Maryland, a current resident of Austin, Texas, and a 2007 Indiana University grad — "I even had one of those IU cheerleader outfits with the red and white pompoms when I was 8 or 9; I think my parents still have it somewhere" — talks about "We're Glad You're Here" as filling a hole in the independent-film scene, her film as a feminist experiment and life imitating art.
