Study how writer-director Jason Orley balances comedy and genuine pathos through sharp, naturalistic dialogue that captures the aimless energy of modern teenage life. The film’s structure, built on the push-and-pull between the mentor-like Zeke and the impressionable Mo, offers a nuanced take on growing up and the blurred lines between guidance and corruption. A great case study in tone and character dynamics.
