Written and Directed by 16-year-old Aaron Avont Johnson. Lost is set in contemporary South Florida. This story follows the life of a young boy named Job who is trying to raise himself after a tragic accident destroys his family. As a result of Job's downfalls in life, he became homeless at the age of 12. Flash forward to his teen years, Job finds a mentor in an old drunk, who is also homeless, somehow filling an empty void of family in Job's life. He fights his way to have a normal life, but the odds are stacked against him.

At a small New York theatre, an ageing magician comes up with a devilish plan to save his piece of old New York by invoking some real black magic. Harsh realities and fantastic illusions come together in BLACK MAGIC FOR WHITE BOYS, Onur Tukel’s latest film, a bizarre comic adventure about gentrification, race and bodily autonomy in New York City. With over 50 minutes of new footage, Tukel has completely reworked a project initially presented in 2017 as a four-episode series at Tribeca into a gnarly and charmingly weird dark comedy. Balancing edgy misanthropy with a strain of silly sweetness, this is an intimate low-budget parable about the changing face of New York City.
