SYNOPSIS: In 12 and Holding acclaimed director Michael Cuesta (L.I.E.) powerfully and honestly portrays the complexities of children losing their innocence and the adults struggling to guide them.  Feeling the pull of childlike emotions and developing adult instincts, three kids navigate their desires for independence and needs for nurturing and safety.  When a tragedy befalls one of their peers, they grapple with a sudden awareness of morality, contemplations of vengeance, and a very first crush.

EDITORIAL REVIEW: A film that even Roger Ebert enjoyed (not too common with films on this site)!  Featuring stunning precise performances by its young stars and supporting cast, 12 and Holding is an unforgettable examination of that one moment when the world changes forever.  Young Conor Donovan plays 12-year-old twins Jacob and Rudy fearlessly.  After his role in 12 and Holding, Conor appeared as "Young Colin" the the Academy Award ® winning film The Departed.  A great actor with a bright future, check him out.
