Reeling: Choose Connor

Fifteen-year-old overachiever Owen Norris has his boring suburban life turned on its head when he becomes “youth campaign spokesman” for Congressman Lawrence Connor (Steven Weber of Wings and Brothers & Sisters). Connor is immediately taken with Owen's intelligence and wit, while Connor’s nephew, Caleb, is immediately taken with Owen in a different way. As Owen struggles with his idealism while being thrust into the cynical world of politics, he encounters a secret world of sex and drugs, which may shatter his dreams or ultimately revise them. A startling work of maturity and insight, Choose Connor was written and directed by precocious 20 year-old, Lucas Eberl.
