offrunningThe festival hit Off and Running is now in theaters. The movie will be screening for one week only at IFC theater in New York City.  Here is the ticket information. We had a chance to see the move at the Tribeca Film Festival and highly recommend this critically acclaimed film. We wanted to let everyone know that the director Nicole Opper and Avery will be attendance at some of the screenings.

OFF AND RUNNING
With white Jewish lesbians for parents and two adopted brothers – one mixed-race and one Korean – Brooklyn teen Avery grew up in a unique and loving household. But when her curiosity about her African-American roots grows, she decides to contact her birth mother. This choice propels Avery into her own complicated exploration of race, identity, and family that threatens to distance her from the parents she’s always known… Off and Running follows Avery to the brink of adulthood, exploring the strength of family bonds and the lengths people must go to become themselves. – First Run Features
