Received as a voting member of Film Independent. The film is quite far fetched but watchable. The theme is regarding a high school boy who had a dream of being a cartoonist, not yet mature enough to understand that high school is essential. It takes place in Princeton, with the unspoken understanding that perhaps one or both of his parents are professors st Princeton who value education. Even his grandfather is a learned man, who watches CSPAN. Robert, the teenager, drops out of high school moves on his own, and tries to forge through on perfecting his craft. He meets a psychologically damaged man who worked for a well-known comic manufacturer as an Assistant Colorist. The film brings them together. Although it just ends once they were for an art lesson. The ending makes minimal sense and leaves this viewer wondering what? Enjoyed film and the characterizations but felt empty at the conclusion.
