What to Expect: A musical documentary about the international exploits of a young man from L.A., who leaves his church-going home to find himself and 'the real' -- based on the stage production of the original Tony-Award winning book by Stew.
What Caught Our Eye: Sundance Lab and Tony-winning darling Stew, performer/lyricist who ignited an 'out-there' soulful rock movement on Broadway with his crew, arrives by way of Spike -- the helmer once upon a time attached to direct Rent. A better fit? You bet.
