Under his influence.

Comedy

A seemingly bright and mostly innocent 16-year-old named Mo attempts to navigate high school under the guidance of his best friend Zeke, an unmotivated-yet-charismatic college dropout. Although Zeke genuinely cares about Mo, things start to go awry as he teaches Mo nontraditional life lessons in drug dealing, partying, and dating. Meanwhile, Mo’s well-meaning dad tries to step in and take back the reins of his son’s upbringing.

VIBE

A messy, hilarious, and surprisingly tender look at teenage misadventures. It captures the chaotic energy of adolescence with a raw, authentic feel, balancing wild nights with genuine moments of connection and growing pains.
