When I was seventeen years old, I was attending a Texas High School and struggling to figure out how people asked other people out for a date. When Phillip Youmans was seventeen years old, he directed a motion picture entitled
Burning Cane starring Wendell Pierce that managed to not only debut at the Tribeca Film Festival, but also win the festival's equivalent to a Best Picture award. Well played Phillip Youmans, well played. It's utterly impressive to see someone manage to create any piece of cinema, let alone one garnering this much acclaim, at such a young age, but
Burning Cane has plenty of positive attributes to talk about beyond the age of its director.
