'Think KIDS meets Midnight Cowboy.' EKAJ is a film packed with real life drama and a real sense of humor. The film capture's a naive teen's runaway journey to one of the most difficult city's to survive in, New York City. We feel Ekaj (Jake Mestre) as he goes through so much rude awakenings. He meets "Mecca" (Badd Idea) a Cynic Artist/Hustler who takes Ekaj under his care. Mecca is a very funny, foul mouthed character and has multiple problems of his own. He stays at his cousins place and we get glimpses of the fact that he has Aids, since he has tattoos with the word written on his knees. He drinks all day and still manages to be sane and sharp. He is also an opportunistic thief. Their relationship develops into true love and care for each other. At the beginning of the film Mecca is doing ok but as the film progresses he becomes sicker and his medication does not really seem to be working for him. At the same time we see Ekaj becoming stronger and less vulnerable. Ekaj lives for the love of his life, a Painter named "Johnny " (Scooter LaForge) who has no tolerance and is constantly beating him. "Johnny" seems indifferent and cold towards Ekaj's desperate love and obsession for him. With no place to really sleep, Ekaj stays during the day with Mecca at his cousin's place, at Johnny's place, or at times staying in hotel rooms payed by coins (clients.

Movie Reviews

ScreenAnarchy - 9/10 by Sebastian Zavala Kahn"Ekaj" is a poignant and powerful tale, a true-to-life picture that dares the audience to experience it as personally as possible, conveying difficult but important themes...
Cinema Crazed - 8/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Garners great direction by [Cati] Gonzalez who really captures the grit and flavor of New York that "Midnight Cowboy" did decades ago...
Impulse Gamer - 8/10 by Harris DangA compelling directorial debut from Cati Gonzalez, thanks to her confident direction, strong lead performances, striking cinematography, punchy themes and distinct characters.
Eye for Film - 8/10 by Jennie KermodeIt presents a world that is rarely seen onscreen like this, recognisable to those who have lived in it. It tells a story that is cruel and urgent, passionate and real.
Caution Spoilers - 7/10 by Sarah CartlandGonzalez doesn't spare us the unforgiving and painful details of lives lived at the edge in her engrossing and confident debut feature. Badd Idea, playing the brutally honest yet caring Mecca, is moving, charismatic and hilarious.
QBP Reviews - 7/10 by Amyana BartleyGonzales's ability to tell a story using fast-paced imagery is unlike anything I've seen before. She never wastes a single second...instead choosing a photographic approach to film that echoes the moment to moment lives of these homeless youth.
Film Threat - 7/10 by Jordaine GivensEkaj shows flashes of brilliance and wisdom. It's reminiscent of an early film by the Safdie Brothers but manages to create its own place among the subgenre.
TheArtsStl - 7/10 by Sarah Boslaugh...delivers a heightened dose of reality while also capturing aspects of present-day New York City that have emphatically not been Disneyfied
User Review - 10/10 by Maritza SEkaj reminds me of John Cassavetes style of filmmaking, the emotion; you can feel the loneliness of the main character. The approach of Cati Gonzalez, the director and cinematographer, of focusing on people, the relationship is what is important, like in Cassavetes films. The intimate connection with the actors, it feels like a slice of life, natural, authentic. There's fearlessness in taking the time to tell a story. Absolutely recommend it!
User Review - 10/10 by Gustavo LWonderful intense love story. It captures New York in a fascinating way. The story works perfectly and so important these days.
