Stolen Summer
You saw the back-stabbing. Now see the final cut.
Directed by Pete Jones
Produced by All Nighter Inc., LivePlanet
A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy about a well-meaning Catholic boy's misguided summer mission to convert his Jewish neighbor, grounded in 1970s suburban charm and interfaith friendship.
Pete, an eight-year-old Catholic boy growing up in the suburbs of Chicago in the mid-1970s, attends Catholic school, where as classes let out for the summer, he's admonished by a nun to follow the path of the Lord, and not that of the Devil. Perhaps taking this message a bit too seriously, Pete decides it's his goal for the summer to help someone get into heaven - by trying to convert a Jew to Catholicism.
