Benji's Hour

Benji's Hour

98 mins | Drama

Gabriel Kahane's deeply personal feature debut chronicles a lawbreaking teenager (Justin Mark) forced to work at a wig shop owned by the warm-hearted Susan (Catherine Curtin), where he befriends an unstable cancer patient (Holly Heiser) who irreversibly alters the course of his life. It's a film that gives an honest peek into the often bleak (albeit exceedingly human) Upstate existence of Benji, his drug addicted, alcoholic mother, absentee father, and the others in his orbit.
