The trailer for Story Ave, a new coming-of-age drama, starring When They See Us breakout Asante Blackk has been released. It will arrive in select theaters on September 29.
“South Bronx teen Kadir is a gifted visual artist who loses his way following the death of his younger brother,” reads the synopsis. “Overcome with grief and struggling with the pressures of school and family, he escapes into the thrilling yet dangerous world of graffiti gangs. To prove himself and join his neighborhood’s ruling gang, Kadir tries to rob no-nonsense MTA conductor Luis, but is caught off guard when Luis agrees to give Kadir cash if he’ll sit down to have a meal with him. Following their conversation and the delicate, transformative friendship that grows out of it, Kadir sees for the first time how his artistic talent could lead to a better life.”
