Independent Spirit Award-nominated for Breakthrough Performance (Daniel Zolghadri)

Gotham Award-nominated for Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director Award

“Wickedly funny and perhaps the best outsider cartoonist film in the past two decades.  A perfect coming-of-age, cringe comedy throwback. Feels like it’s straight out of the late 90s or early 00s — no surprise given its director starred in Noah Baumbach’s seminal The Squid and the Whale. Produced by the Safdie Brothers (Uncut Gems) and premiered at Cannes to a standing ovation, it’s American Splendor for Gen Z.” — Dan Hudson

When Robert, a high school student and aspiring cartoonist, rejects the comforts of suburban life, dropping out of school and leaving home, he finds an unwilling teacher and unwitting friend in Wallace — a former low-level comic artist.
