The TVI Take

Adam Leon's 2012 Bronx-set debut, made independently for under two hundred thousand dollars. Tashiana Washington and Ty Hickson play teenage graffiti writers chasing money to bomb the Mets' home-run apple.

Leon's documentary instincts and ear for street dialogue produce a film closer to early Spike Lee than to any contemporary indie.
