Robert, a budding actor with a lot to prove, is known around campus as the guy from the StarJuice commercials, but he'd rather earn some artistic cred with his original play, "Mystery Man." When a mysterious classmate with a dinosaur birthmark laughs at his in-class monologue, Robert and his friend Naldo are swept into an antic quest to achieve her approval. With a galaxy-hopping POV and kaleidoscopic aesthetic, Austin Coombs-Perez's feature debut channels the youthful urgency and try-anything energy of true indie originals..." - 50th Atlanta Film Festival, First Wave Announcement, March 9 2026.
