A24 has released the
first trailer for writer/director Chad Hartigan's ("This Is Martin Bonner")
Morris from America, a unique coming-of-age comedy that follows the lives of a father and son played by
Craig Robinson and Markees Christmas, who suddenly relocate to Germany, where fish-out-of-water hilarity and drama
ensues.
Morris from America won
two prizes at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the Waldo Salt
Screenwriting Award for Hartigan, and a Special Jury Award for Robinson,
who has been receiving tremendous praise for his touching and nuanced
performance in his first dramatic role.
Also starring Carla Juri, Lina
Keller, Jakub Gierszal, and Eva Löbau, Morris from America opens in theaters on
August 19.
A
heartwarming and crowd-pleasing coming-of-age comedy with a unique spin, Morris from America centers
on Morris Gentry (Markees Christmas, in an incredible breakout
performance) a 13-year-old who has just relocated with his single father,
Curtis (Craig Robinson) to Heidelberg, Germany. Morris, who fancies
himself the next Notorious B.I.G., is a complete fish-out-of-water—a
budding hip-hop star in an EDM world. To complicate matters
further, Morris quickly falls hard for his cool, rebellious,
15-year-old classmate Katrin. Morris sets out against all odds to take the
hip-hop world by storm and win the girl of his dreams.
