The Art of Getting By (2011 Gavin Wiesen & scr)

I enjoyed this, despite it not being exactly the most original story ever, descending almost from Les Quatres Cent Coups. Freddie Highmore is the aimless NYC student who befriends Emma Roberts. That's it really. 

With Sasha Spielberg (yes, daughter of), Marcus Carl Franklin, Ann Dowd, Blair Underwood (Principal), Rita Wilson, Sam Robards (son of Jason and Lauren Bacall).



Good soundtrack from people I'd never heard of like The Shins, Earlimart, Matter, Mates of State, Clap Your Hands and Say Yeah, Starlight Mints, Boxer Rebellion, Delphic, Infernal Devices, KU, Pavement, and the playout track The Trial of the Century by French Kicks.

Wiesen's career didn't take off, for some reason.
