Fame found him young, then let him go. In Yes, a washed-up former child star decides to mentor a 17-year-old, and in doing so confronts everything his own early stardom cost him. Directed by Rob Margolies and based on Tim Realbuto's Off-Broadway play, the drama features Nolan Gould, Tim Realbuto, Jenna Leigh Green, Oscar Nunez, and Siobhan Fallon Hogan. A story about second acts, and the people who help us write them.

Why This Film Matters: The culture that builds child stars rarely knows what to do with them afterward, and the wreckage of early fame is a story we keep relearning. Yes turns that hard-won experience into something generative — the possibility that a broken mentor might guide someone else past the same traps. In an age obsessed with young fame and its fallout, this intimate drama argues that redemption often comes through lifting up the next person in line.
