ANGELIKA’S NOTE

THE ADVENTURES OF SEBASTIAN COLE is a "witty and entertaining" (MTV Radio) dramatic comedy from director/writer Tod Williams (THE DOOR IN THE FLOOR, PARANORMAL ACTIVITY 2) that received nominations for Film Independent Spirit Awards, as well as a Grand Jury Prize nomination at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. The film follows a teen whose turbulent family situation finds him living with his step-parent, who has recently come out as a transgender woman, and proves herself to be far more supportive than his blood-relatives.

SYNOPSIS

In this teen comedy-drama, high-school senior and writer wannabe Sebastian Cole survives a car accident in a remote Southwestern area near the trailer home of a Spanish-speaking woman. As she dresses his wounds, Sebastian looks back over the past year and his turbulent family life.
