FILM OVERVIEW
Alex Silver harbors aspirations of following in the footsteps of Jim Henson, but his reality is far from a whimsical puppet show. His father's strictness weighs heavily on him, his school environment feels suffocating, and even his neighbors appear hostile. However, everything takes a turn when Julius, a enigmatic new student, enters his life. Through Julius' infectious positivity, Alex begins a journey of self-improvement, gradually finding his footing one step at a time.
Director Biography
Monty Wolfe and Ian Southworth met at a Portland, Oregon Comicon, later bonding over film talk at a Red Robin surrounded by various Jedi, anime characters, and a few Batmen. Ian was an art school graduate and regional Emmy winner and Monty had worked in television news for a decade, but not long after, Monty would enter film school and the two would collaborate on a myriad of projects from Sci-fi to romcoms. Today, they navigate the magical chaos of their film sets with a sort of linked telepathy.
