A teenager wanders into Carmel, California, where he is soon introduced to the art-forgery community.

Joshua, a teenager with a drugged-out mother on the run, wanders into the affluent community of Carmel, California. After getting himself into trouble, the authorities try to track down his mother. But in the meantime, a successful artist/businessman offers to take in Joshua and let him have a chance at a good life. His motives are questionable considering his line of business and how he plans to use Joshua’s artistic talents, but Joshua has met a girl and he’s not sure if the money is worth selling off his morals.

The Forger was the last film of the legendary Lauren Bacall.

“A beautifully shot story; the filmmakers definitely knew the story they wanted to tell as it was distinctively shot on location by the sea in Carmel, California. A number of the shots looked like paintings that our young hero was emulating.” – Film Gate Reviews

“It is quite impressive how the scenery and background are so detailed, and every attention to the setting is portrayed and sets the mood of the complex characters. Characters move from scene to scene with little effort, thus making for a rather impressive film.” – Dan’s Movie Report

“A well done film with a gripping, unique plot line peppered by compelling characters and heart-wrenching moments. It is filled with twists and turns, and have an ending that will for sure stick in your mind.” – ChucksConnection Film Review
