The Kid Detective
No longer a kid. Not much of a detective.
Directed by Evan Morgan
Produced by Woods Entertainment, JoBro Productions
A darkly comedic neo-noir about a washed-up former child prodigy confronting adult violence and his own failure, blending mystery-thriller elements with melancholic character study.
A once-celebrated kid detective, now 31, continues to solve the same trivial mysteries between hangovers and bouts of self-pity. Until a naive client brings him his first 'adult' case, to find out who brutally murdered her boyfriend.
