Hometown U.S.A. is a 1979 American film directed by Max Baer Jr.

(Vint and Baer Jr had worked together on Macon County Line.)

Vint felt the movie should have been directed in the style of The Last Picture Show.

"The events in the script actually happened, so the film should've been grounded in reality, with no forced humor whatsoever," said Vint.
