Our take

Evoking Larry Clark’s Kids in both ambience and style, this short drama from indie director J.B. Herndon looks at the carefree, often reckless spirit of early adolescence through a simple yet light-hearted storyline. Bottom line: sometimes knowing when to put on autopilot can save your life!
