ONE SENTENCE SYNOPSISA forlorn, gifted teenager abandoned by his family in New York City mistakenly substitutes the attention of a Lower East Side drug dealer for the love of his absentee father.

SYNOPSISZephyr Benson shines a light on addiction and the middle class drug scene with his debut film about a forlorn, gifted teenager abandoned in New York City who mistakenly substitutes the attention of a Lower East Side drug dealer for the love of his absentee father.. As writer, director, producer and protagonist, Benson reveals innocence lost with a gritty & sometimes humorous narrative on the mixology of weed, narcotics and pills, and the absurdity of the junky lifestyle. He is supported by the outstanding dramatic performances of Aaron Costa Ganis as Cruz, Adonis Rodriguez as Ivan, Jon McCormick as Sam, and Michael Steinmetz as Bobby. This universal story follows the sales and distribution of narcotics through teen social circles before coming to an inevitable violent end. Benson’s fearlessly honest insider’s view destroys the myth of casual drug use as his character, Gene, morphs from troubled child to novice dealer to accidental addict. The ending is a jolt audiences won’t soon forget.

FILMMAKER’S STATEMENT

Since I was 17 years old, heroin has been an unfortunate part of my life.  I’ve watched friends of mine battle addiction. Some ended up going down similar paths with similar tragic outcomes. I've lost people I love to this drug. If you haven't experienced it, it's hard to imagine. But it’s a story I felt compelled to share.

 

I dropped out of NYU after one semester to write this script. I was 19, and I was angry.  I wanted to tell an honest story about something I’ve seen personally and expose the truth — the comradery, the highs and lows of selling and using these drugs. 

 

 In Straight Outta Tompkins, drugs are Gene’s escape -- from the pain of rejection by his dad, the pain of the loss of his family, and the pain of uncertainty. He is attracted to a drug dealer like Cruz because Cruz is certain. He has all the answers. But it’s a lie. Cruz represents heroin to me. He lies to Gene the way heroin lies to an addict. He tells Gene everything is ok though clearly it's not.

 

I think the film is an authentic portrayal of how a person can slip so easily into addiction. Drugs falsely gives your life focus and your other problems recede and become small. Chasing the high becomes your life.I wanted to put drugs in a light I have seen. Not good light or a bad light, just an honest one. Hopefully, people will come out of the film and see life through a new set of eyes.

— Zephyr Benson

CAST BIOS

Zephyr Benson / Writer, Producer, Director, Gene

ZEPHYR BENSON

Actor/Writer/Producer/Director Zephyr Benson makes his feature screenwriting and directorial debut in March 2015 with his bold and gritty drama “Straight Outta Tompkins” (Indican Pictures.) Taking place in New York City’s Lower East Side, “Straight Outta Tompkins” follows the story of a young high schooler (Benson) who is recruited by a known drug dealer and inevitably becomes entwined with his inner city drug ring. “Straight Outta Tompkins” was filmed entirely in NYC over the course of less than 20 days and with an impressive ultra-low budget of $160,000.

Zephyr was born in Santa Monica, CA in 1992 to singer/actress Karla DeVito and multi-hyphenate talent Robby Benson. Surrounded by a loving family he felt most at home in NYC when his parents relocated there in 2004 to debut their musical ‘Open Heart’ at The Cherry Lane Theater, with Zephyr as the voice of Adam. But it wasn’t until age 16, while working as a production assistant in all departments on his father’s film “Billy,” starring Armie Hammer, where Zephyr fell in love with every aspect of production.

Back in NYC, Zephyr attended an unconventional Arts high school which allowed him the freedom to participate in his dad’s highly sought after senior level filmmaking courses at New York University. Upon graduation, Zephyr entered NYU/Tisch Filmmaking and Television class of 2014.

After a short time and at only 18 years old, Zephyr opted to leave the University and pursue his passion project – writing and producing his own film based on his experiences and people he interacted with on the Lower East Side. From there, and one year later, “Straight Outta Tompkins” was born.

Zephyr still lives in New York City and is busy writing and developing several projects for Lyric Films: an edgy, dark comedic series about a young artist in NYC; an untitled horror feature set in Brooklyn; and producing the screenplay ‘Garth Garmen’ - a palpable, revealing look at the insanity within the worldwide pharmaceutical industry. Zephyr Benson is president of Lyric Films, in partnership with his executive producing team BensonRuddBenson, David Rudd and Robby Benson.
