(2003)Directed by Kyle Rankin, Efram Potelle79 min · PG-13Comedy, Drama, Romance
“When you're 17, every day is war.”

Kelly Ernswiler (Shia LaBeouf) spends his weekends staging war reenactments with his friend Bart (Elden Henson), planning the campaigns like a general. Meanwhile there's a school bully to dodge, a father in recovery from drug addiction at home, and Bart's older sister Tabby (Amy Smart), who is about to be married. Directors Efram Potelle and Kyle Rankin follow Kelly as he tries to run his own life with the same tactics he uses on the battlefield.
