Morris from America

A heartwarming and crowd-pleasing coming-of-age comedy with a unique spin, MORRIS FROM AMERICA centers on Morris Gentry, a 13-year-old who has just relocated with his single father, Curtis (Craig Robinson) to Germany.

Morris, who fancies himself the next Notorious B.I.G., is a complete fish-out-of-water--a budding hip-hop star in an EDM world. To complicate matters further, Morris quickly falls hard for his cool, rebellious, 15-year-old classmate Katrin. Morris sets out against all odds to take the hip-hop world by storm and win the girl of his dreams.

Nominated for Best Supporting Male at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. Winner of a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

"It's a pop confection with a rough, honest texture, real but not raw and suffused with an infectious sweetness that lingers after the final shot." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
