Malibu's Most Wanted
Ever feel like you don't belong?
Directed by John Whitesell
Produced by Karz Entertainment, Lonely Film Productions
A lighthearted comedy about identity and belonging that uses mistaken personas and fish-out-of-water humor to explore a privileged kid's misguided self-reinvention.
A senator arranges for his son, a rich white kid who fancies himself black, to be kidnapped by a couple of black actors pretending to be murderers to try and shock him out of his plans to become a rapper.
