Synopsis

A funny, touching, and empathetic look at a film- and self-obsessed teenaged curmudgeon pursuing his dreams and testing personal connections.

Lawrence Kweller is a self-centred, movie-obsessed 17-year-old outcast whose only meaningful relationships are with his best friend (from whom he can borrow a camcorder) and his mother (who finances his millennial teen lifestyle). Fixated with getting into film school, he lands a job at a video store to earn his tuition fees. There he befriends the older female manager and exasperates the other staff and customers in equal measure with his intransigent opinions on film.
