Tribeca All Access® 2019
Logline
After the death of his graffiti-writer brother, 15-year-old Trey follows Luke, a train hopping crust punk and his surrogate family of runaways, artists, and activists on illegal train rides that take him deep into a world off the grid. COYOTE BOYS is a portrait of rootless youth experiencing loss and loneliness — creating alternative ways of surviving 21st Century America.
Haley Anderson
Director, Screenwriter, Producer
Haley Elizabeth Anderson is a filmmaker, writer, and visual artist from Houston, Texas. She currently attends New York University's Graduate Film Program as a Dean’s Fellow. With roots across the Gulf and a background in playwriting and poetry, her work explores coming-of-age experiences, race, and the class divide in the South and the American working class. Before moving to New York, Haley worked in casting where she street cast several feature length projects. Her experiences street casting a Terrance Malick project in Austin, Texas led her to further develop her love for working with and developing narratives with nonprofessional actors, a process that drives her work: a hybrid of narrative film and experimental documentary.
