James White
Sometimes we choose our path. Sometimes our path chooses us.
Directed by Josh Mond
Produced by Relic Pictures, BorderLine Films
A raw, intimate portrait of a young man's self-destruction and reluctant caregiving, anchored by the deteriorating bond with his dying mother.
James White is a troubled twentysomething trying to stay afloat in a frenzied New York City. As he retreats further into a hedonistic lifestyle, his mother's battle with a serious illness faces a series of setbacks that force him to assume more responsibility. With the pressure on him mounting, James must find new reserves of strength or risk imploding completely.
