American Crime 2×08 (ABC) Directed by Kimberly Peirce

February 24, 2016

A loss at Leyland High School is mourned; Leslie’s job is on the line; Curt thinks his estranged wife has taken their son, Peter; Becca makes a surprising confession to Dan; Sebastian tries to help Anne.

After a stint on the sets of the WGN series Manhattan, Kimberly Peirce directed her second TV episode of the 2015-2016 season with American Crime 2×08, written by playwright & television scribe Keith Huff, known for his work as a writer/producer on House of Cards & Mad Men.
Revealed by the critically acclaimed feature Boys Don’t Cry in 1999, she kickstarted the career of Chloe Sevigny, who landed an Oscar nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, and crowned Hilary Swank, who won the golden prize for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
After developping an adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s epic Childhood’s End at Universal Pictures in the early 2000’s, she made her return in 2006 with The L Word episode “Lifeline” and released her second feature Stop-Loss in 2008, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Abbie Cornish & Channing Tatum.
In 2013, she followed the footsteps of Stephen King by directing a remake of Carrie, who went on to become, with Jennifer Lee’s Frozen, one of the highest-grossing films directed by a woman that year.

All the American Crime season 2 episodes are shot by cinematographer Lisa Wiegand, DP for Dollhouse/Chicago Fire and winner of the 1999 American Society of Cinematographers Heritage Award.
