Dope
It's hard out here for a geek.
Directed by Rick Famuyiwa
Produced by Revolt Films, Significant Productions
A witty, energetic coming-of-age comedy that uses hip-hop culture and genre-bending humor to explore identity, belonging, and self-acceptance in a tough LA neighborhood.
Malcolm is carefully surviving life in a tough neighborhood in Los Angeles while juggling college applications, academic interviews, and the SAT. A chance invitation to an underground party leads him into an adventure that could allow him to go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself.
