About the event
Join us after the film for a Q&A with director Oscar Boyson.
Hoping to impress an activist classmate, the ultra-wealthy NYC teenager Balthy posts emotional videos on social media, pleading for stricter gun laws.
But when his content attracts the attention of an online troll who claims he is planning a school shooting, Balthy heads on an ill-advised journey to Texas to confront him.
An audacious coming-of-age story, Our Hero, Balthazar explores the impact of social media and American gun culture on modern adolescence through an incisive yet blackly comic lens.
Starring Asa Butterfield (Sex Education) and Jaeden Martell (Knives Out, It), directed by Oscar Boyson (producer of Good Time, exec producer of Marty Supreme) in his feature film debut.
