Benji's Hour

Saw this movie yesterday at a screening in Utica, New York where this film was filmed and I was very impressed by first time director, writer and producer Gabriel Kahane's work. Benji is a lawbreaking teenager who is ordered to work community service at a wig shop for cancer patients. There he meets Susan the kind hearted shop owner and a mysterious female co-worker who alters the course of his life. His home life is as bleak as can be with his alcoholic drug using mother and a father nowhere to be seen. How did Benji get himself in this predicament to begin with?

This film is beautifully filmed with great acting by all involved. This film is a must see.
