SCREENPLAY

The Pebble Champion” is a poignant coming-of-age drama, reminiscent of films like “Close” and “Call Me By Your Name” that explores identity, grief, and self-acceptance through the metaphor of skimming pebbles.

"This is a story that radiates authenticity, emotional sincerity, and perspective, establishing, in young protagonist Chris, a voice that feels at once both believable and eminently charming."
