Kicks
Description
This story tells about an obscurity that seems closer to the reality of Brandon. Brandon is a 15-year-old teenager whose goal and ambition lie in getting a pair of fresh sports shoes that he can buy. Brandon believes that these shoes will help him escape the fact that he is poor and brings him the opposite sex. When Brandon got the pottery, he became a target after Fabo immediately kidnapped her. Brandon tries to recover those shoes again.

Kicks is tense, horrifying and hypnotic: a stunning premiere from a new filmmaking talent to follow.

Tipping's admittedly artful style is relatively ambiguous, focusing mostly on cheap visceral thrills, to the point where it's impossible to glean what he thinks about the depths to which Brandon will go.

Tipping, who also co-wrote the polished script, captures this unique mix of adolescent anxiety, urban decay and societal friction in a remarkably confident fashion ...
