Cutting the Pattern
2013, English. Directed by Jeff Kao.
I bet you a hundred thousand dollars you can't make that shot.
A look into the lives of two eleven year-olds spending a summer weekend fighting off boredom. Based on Kao's own memories of a cherished childhood in Iowa during the 60s and 70s, when the only structure to his and his friends play was having enough matches for the afternoon, and how to get your bike-chain back on in a hurry.
