The Kids Are Alright
The Kids Are Alright is a coming-of-age story about the search for one's own identity and the quest for belonging.
Eli, Dustin, Milena, Cem and G.T. have known each since the sandbox, and over the years, they've grown together into a solid gang.
They regularly hang out on G.T.'s roof, drinking beer and smoking weed.
From up here, you can see the whole city, everything seems tangible, everything seems possible.
From here, the friends plan their forays into the city.
Then, one evening, while the group wanders the streets, it turns out that G.T. feels more than just friendship for Cem.

Woodyholl are Bastian Jentschke and Philipp Mundt.
The two filmmakers got to know each other in 2009 and have been working together since then as a director/dop team for advertising and short film projects.
With passion, leather jacket and humor, they tell idiosyncratic stories that are fun and uncompromising in their artistry.
They do not take themselves too seriously, like the work in small teams and understand how to create maximum impact with minimum resources.
