Benjamin Garrett
An ambitious and imaginative story about loneliness and redemption told through the unlikely bond between a 20-year-old misfit and a 12-year-old genius. The writer has a sense of humor that enlivens the screenplay throughout and he fortifies the action with a visual writing style that will make for a strong transition to the screen.
