About the film:
Winner of the Audience Award at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival. Fresh out of college and stuck at his New Jersey home without a clear path forward, 22-year-old Andrew begins working as a party starter for bar/bat mitzvahs—where he strikes up a unique friendship with a young mom and her teenage daughter.
“a big-hearted and remarkably mature film that tackles weighty concepts like family, identity, love, and mental illness through the story of a jubilant bar mitzvah party starter.”
—Tomris Laffly for Harper’s Bazaar
