A coming-of-age joyride about Cootie, a 13ft tall young Black man in Oakland, CA. Having grown up hidden away, Cootie soon experiences the beauty and contradictions of the world for the first time. He forms friendships, finds love, navigates awkward situations, and encounters his idol, a real life superhero named The Hero.
I’ll be ready for the world — and ready for the pain.

A clear mind shall nourish and truth is never weak.
There is no defeat.
As long as I push.
Hands, feet.
Heart, head.
