Peter Banifaz in The Cowboy (2014)

Lola (Valerie Brandy)-- a 22 year old ex-con who spends her time completing her community service by picking up trash on the side of the highway-- is making a video letter for her mysterious pen-pal "Henry." Through her video antics, which range from darkly humorous to heartbreakingly honest, we discover a girl who's full of contradictions. Tugged in opposite directions by her best friend Ree (Annamarie Kenoyer), and her new love interest Sam (Travis Quentin Young), Lola tries to piece her life back together in the aftermath of a huge mistake. Lola seeks the answer to a question familiar to anyone who's ever done something they wish they hadn't: "How do we move on?"
