In this sharp, fast-paced comedy from writer-director Michael O'Neill Burns, who also stars, the digital world collides...
In the sun-drenched streets of North Hollywood, a group of friends stands on the precipice of adulthood, their lives revolving around skateboarding, camaraderie, and the dream of turning passion into a career. At the center is a young man, portrayed by Ryder McLaughlin, whose dedication to his board is matched only by the mounting pressure from his father, played by Vince Vaughn, to pursue a more conventional path. Alongside his friends, including Aramis Hudson and Nico Hiraga, he navigates the exhilarating yet precarious world of local skate culture, where every trick landed is a small victory and every fall a harsh reality check. This authentic coming-of-age drama, written and directed by Mikey Alfred, captures the raw energy and poignant uncertainty of chasing an unconventional dream against the expectations of family and society. With a supporting cast featuring Miranda Cosgrove and Angus Cloud, the film blends comedic moments with genuine drama, painting a vivid portrait of loyalty, ambition, and the difficult choices that define the transition from boyhood to manhood on the iconic pavement of Los Angeles.
