Coming Through the Rye
Directed by James Steven Sadwith
Produced by Cold Beer Friday, River Bend Pictures
A introspective coming-of-age drama about a sensitive adolescent navigating isolation and identity through his obsession with Holden Caulfield.
Coming Through the Rye, set in 1969, is a touching coming of age story of sensitive, 16 year old Jamie Schwartz, who is not the most popular kid at his all boys' boarding school. Disconnected from students and teachers, he believes he is destined to play Holden Caulfield, the main character of The Catcher in the Rye, and has adapted the book as a play.
