Excellent First Time Effort

This is a great film by first time writer and director Doan Nguyen. The story is strong having both light hearted moments and plenty of drama. The filming is creatively done and in an art house fashion This is not your run of the mill Hollywood movie, it has depth and is a moving story. The cast which consists mainly of first time actors do a good job. This film was shot on a limited budget in a tight time frame. It is set in Brisbane, Australia and tells the story of a young man who is running from his gang heritage. During his journey he meets several key people that shape his future to come. I could watch this film again. It is shaped in an interesting way and told in a fashion that keeps the watcher thinking about how the pieces of the film fit together. A fantastic first effort.
