Jennifer Venditti's award-winning documentary is a provocative coming-of-age story -- an odyssey into the soul of an American teenager. Following 15-year-old Billy as he wanders the quiet streets of small-town Maine, we watch him grapple with isolation and first-time young love as he traverses the frustrating gap between imagination and reality. By turns exhilarating and disturbing, and featuring an electrifying soundtrack by KISS and a host of emerging indie artists, Billy the Kid captures an intimate view of an expressive and seemingly fearless outsider.
