Overview
No Matter What is a moving polaroid of Northern Florida, a romantic place superficially frozen in time but increasingly threatened by the modern perils of economic fallout and cheap, dangerous rural drugs. Nick and Joey are 14 and 15. They skip school, skateboard, are growing up and old — but not out. They’re almost entirely parent-less, except for Joey’s mom. But she’s been slipping away for years.And then, on an unexceptional school-day morning, she’s just gone.The boys have subsisted in the charming bleakness through each other’s company alone, but their friendship will be defined by the ensuing excursion to find her. One way or another, they’re getting the hell out of Florida.If this were a nostalgic movie, you’d call their trip an adventure. But it’s not really, nor do they ‘come of age.’ Age comes to them, and this is how they deal.An official selection of the 2011 SXSW Film Festival.
