Boxcutter

Aspiring rapper Rome has the talent and vision to break out in Toronto's hip-hop scene, but his crippling insecurity is holding him back. When he learns that megastar producer Richie Hill will be making an appearance at a local club, Rome seizes the chance to meet him and get his album into Richie’s hands. However, disaster strikes when Rome’s apartment is burglarized and the only copy of his album is stolen. Racing across the city with his friend Jenaya, Rome scrambles to track down his collaborators and his records before the show begins and he misses his one shot. Set against Toronto’s gentrifying streets and its vibrant music scene, “Boxcutter finds its strength in those within the community who believe in you when you might not always believe in yourself“ (Cinema Axis).
