Norman (2010)

Norman (Dan Byrd) is a painfully self-conscious and darkly funny teen who’s just trying to handle his daily high-school existence. In the wake of a grave family tragedy, Norman unintentionally gets caught in a lie that quickly spirals out of control. With love, humility and a heavy dose of truth, Norman emerges to face a burning set of conflicting emotions as he wrestles to define his relationship with his dying father (Richard Jenkins), his soul-stirring connection with his classmate Emily (Emily VanCamp), and ultimately who he will be as a young man.
