Synopsis: In mid-1970s Savannah, two bright but rebellious boys, Francis Doyle and Tim Sullivan, fight boredom, hormones and harsh teachers as they struggle to find something meaningful beyond the walls of their parish school. Francis, an exceptional artist whose imaginative forays into a fictional universe of good and evil fill his notebooks with comic-book imagery, creates a netherworld of superhero alter egos for the two boys. When the ultra-strict Sister Assumpta seizes their artwork one day, the boys embark upon an obsessed trail of revenge that ultimately changes their lives.

A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

I don't know what got me the job and why they asked to interview me, but I remember having the interview with the director and Jodie Foster, and hitting it off well and then being hired. It was a difficult project to work on, one of the few. It was a tough ride. I don't know if it was the director's first film or one of their first, but he had a bit of a hard time describing or knowing what he wanted. So we ended up going around in circles a lot until Jodie Foster came on board and took over a lot, and then it became quite simple. For a while it was quite tricky.
