Goats
You can't choose your family...or can you?
Directed by Christopher Neil
Produced by Red Crown Productions, Sandia Media
A coming-of-age comedy about an unconventional teenager navigating the clash between his bohemian desert upbringing and the rigid expectations of East Coast prep school life.
Having a self-absorbed New Age mother and an estranged father has meant 15-year-old Ellis Whitman has grown up relying on an unconventional guardian: a goat-trekking, marijuana-growing sage called 'Goat Man'. When Ellis decides to leave the alternative ways of his desert homestead for a stuffy East Coast prep school, major changes are in store.
