> Wealthy New York City teenager Balthazar “Balthy” Malone (Jaeden Martell) has a crush on a classmate who organizes gun control protests. To gain her attention, he creates dramatic social media videos pleading for stricter gun laws. When an online troll (Asa Butterfield) begins mocking his videos, Balthy becomes convinced that he is communicating with a potential mass shooter and impulsively decides to travel to Texas to confront him in person. What starts as a misguided hero’s journey evolves into a complex encounter between two young men from vastly different worlds, each struggling to find their place in a divided America.

how much one event can shape your life. Bro could have been Spider-man and making $30M per films but now starring in indies 1/10th that salary as budget. One moment… just One
IDK, this seems like it is trying very hard to be edgy.

Saw this at a film festival a couple months ago and was shocked at how much it blew me away. Absolutely hilarious but devastating. Could not recommend it more

Thought it was Sam Hyde related by the thumbnail and was really confused that Asa was torpedoeing his career so early.

I’m boycotting this b/c it sounds way too similar to Robert Bresson’s [*Au hasard Balthazar*](https://www.bfi.org.uk/film/3fc31e95-d0aa-5a28-a8d4-4d3c8a3d50a9/au-hasard-balthazar).
