Logline: Unjustly accused of an accidental killing, Jay, a teenage skateboarder, teams up with a flamboyant female drug lord to ferret out the real culprit. As they roam the city, an unexpected mother-and-son bond develops, but the victim’s own mother is out for revenge.

Genre: Flannery O’Connor-like sun-dazzled drama.

“Soda is like some sort of surrealistic fever dream; it tackles highly current events while being a timeless coming of age story, while also being a journey of revenge and repentance. What’s so interesting about this script is that it has the frenetic energy of someone telling you an outrageous story while also taking the time to highlight the setting and vibe of the city around the characters. It’s reminiscent of a Harmony Korine film in the sense that it’s a funhouse mirror for a world that a lot of Americans choose to ignore”.
