Jet Boy

Directed by Dave Schultz

A dealer finds an unexpected companion in a runaway kid evading social services.
Jet Boy is a bleak Canadian road drama centred on a young hustler searching for security in a world of damaged adults. Branden Nadon gives a vulnerable performance, and although the film can feel relentlessly grim, its compassion for its young protagonist prevents the story from becoming merely exploitative.
