This coming-of-age story chronicles a young black teenager’s growing experiences one summer. Similar in style to the classic SUMMER OF ‘42, THE INKWELL examines an aspect of the black experience previously unexplored while re-creating the fads, music, and styles of the 1970s in a light-hearted manner.

"THE INKWELL is a warm, sensitive and moving coming of age film!"

"Two thumbs up!"
