This almost art house DVD is a
captivating tale about 15-year old Billy Price, an intelligent yet
extroverted teenager who at the age of 5 almost became
institutionalized.
Jennifer Venditti directs this documentary about
a boy with dreams and how his family support their son 100%. With a
love for movies, Billy awkwardly moves through school with his strange
characteristics, yet quite likeable presence with his strange quirks.
Ironically after the filming of the movie, Billy was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome which the extras gives another insight into the
teenager Billy and director Jennifer Venditti.
Video wise, the
quality is a lacking, however the story more than makes up for the
video and audio inadequacies. Featuring drama, romance and at times
comedy, Billy the Kid is truly an inspirational DVD!
Special Features:
Billy & Mother watch Billy the Kid - their impressions, behind the
scenes with Billy, & Billy's ideas about the future
Seated interview with Jennifer (Director) & Directors Commentary
