From the award-winning director of SPELLBOUND comes the story of hal Hefner, a misfit teenager with a doomed crush, a beat-up suitcase and the whole world resting on the tip of his tongue...

ROCKET SCIENCE follows the life of fifteen year-old Hal, an awkward kid with a stutter who wants to rise from obscurity and become an unlikely hero of his high school. Hal sees his chance when Ginny Ryerson - the anbitious, fast-talking star of the debate team - convinces him that he’s got the raw talent to succeed at public speaking. Falling madly in love and discovering new confidence, Hal sets out on an improbable journey through the pitfalls and perils of the New Jersey suburbs. Deadpan comic and achingly real, ROCKET SCIENCE is “a metaphor for the insecurity and confision felt by every sensitive soul trapped inside the bubble of adolescence. (The New York Times)
