ELFs / Kino Monoplexx: THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND

After his father’s death when Scott was seven, he has achieved little. While his ambitious younger sister heads off to college, he is in his mid-20s and still living with his exhausted nurse mother at home. Spending his time getting high and hanging with the guys - Oscar, Igor and Richie - while secretly hooking up with his childhood friend Kelsey. But when his mother starts dating a loudmouth firefighter named Ray, it sets off a chain of events that will force Scott to confront his pain and start to face moving on in his life.  

Drawing on his own experiences of childhood bereavement, co-writer Pete Davidson carries this soulful and richly enjoyable New York story.
