Coming of Age Movie

Winner - Best feature film, Hollywood Film Festival. In this urban coming of age story, Jimmy Zip is an abused runaway who lands a job working for Rick, a drug dealer. Under peer pressure from the other street kids, Jimmy makes a big mistake. He tosses an explosive into a junkyard car, not knowing that Horace, a metal sculptor, is inside. When Horace recruits Jimmy as his apprentice, Jimmy channels his destructive energy into creative expression. However, the business is funded by drug money that Jimmy steals from Rick, who is now out to get them. The motley duo, caught between the worlds of crime and art, must find a way to sell their artwork before they are killed.
