GIO PEREZ MOVIE SCREENING
In the forgotten corners of the San Fernando Valley, a man with nothing left clings to the last traces of his humanity. The streets have reduced life to instinct and endurance—until he witnesses a terrified kid being pushed and hunted by a gang. In that moment, he’s forced to choose: disappear like he always has, or step into the violence and face the demons he’s spent years trying to bury.

In “Just Let the Kid Go,” that choice lights a fuse. Its consequences spill into “The Firepit,” where survival demands preparation, not hesitation. With the gang closing in, trust is fragile, and the drifter must sharpen skills long left dormant if he hopes to keep them both alive.
