Based on the award-winning short film "Gowanus, Brooklyn," the feature film is about "a unique relationship between a white schoolteacher, his African-American student and a local drug dealer."
The film marks the debut of director Ryan Fleck, who co-wrote the "Nelson" screenplay with frequent collaborator Anna Boden.
