A young hustler runs throughout the city of Chicago making sales out of his “mobile gift shop”.

Director's Note

You have the truly unique opportunity to edit a film that was accepted to perhaps the world's most prestigious film festivals, Sundance. Filmed throughout the city of Chicago, we've given you everything to create an important narrative.

BJ’s MOBILE GIFT SHOP is a story about one person’s struggle with significance. In a culture that constantly questions whether we’re living our biggest and best lives, this film offers an intimate look at someone who chooses a different path. Even though BJ may live “small,” every day is an adventure—he encounters unique situations constantly, as no two days are the same. The story is also about Chicago and its complexities; just like BJ, the city struggles to find its place in the world, but it never forgets to enjoy every moment life has to offer.
