Lovingly capturing the vibrancy of a Bronx summer, this impressive debut feature chronicles the ambitions of a duo of teenage graffiti artists trying to hustle up money for their biggest project yet: tagging the giant apple at Citi Field. Fueled by creativity, fast-paced banter, and a hint of sexual tension, the pair seek to get back at a rival gang and make their mark on Gotham’s graffiti scene. Boasting two of the most charismatic lead performances of the year, this effervescent comedy celebrates its urban landscapes, but also paints a nuanced portrait of the class barriers that continue to divide this city. An official selection at Cannes Director’s Fortnight and New Directors/New Films, and winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Narrative Feature at SXSW.
