Big Time Adolescence
Under his influence.
Directed by Jason Orley
Produced by American High, LD Entertainment
A comedic coming-of-age story about a teenager caught between the charismatic bad influence of his best friend and his father's protective concern, exploring the messy reality of adolescent friendship and mentorship.
A seemingly bright and mostly innocent 16-year-old named Mo attempts to navigate high school under the guidance of his best friend Zeke, an unmotivated-yet-charismatic college dropout. Although Zeke genuinely cares about Mo, things start to go awry as he teaches Mo nontraditional life lessons in drug dealing, partying, and dating. Meanwhile, Mo’s well-meaning dad tries to step in and take back the reins of his son’s upbringing.
