The Young (working title)

Journey of a teenage father

Fixy

Sixteen-year-old Noah finds his baby son on the sidewalk of his house when his girlfriend leaves; a child with a child. This throws him into the adult world in one fell swoop. Full in denial for his responsibility, he gets on his moped to return their baby son. But riding away to get rid of his "problem" gradually becomes a journey toward connection and fatherhood.

The film is currently in post production. Expected release; fall 2024.
