Plot: An all new film from Director Todd Verow.

With the impressive Between Something & Nothing, Todd Verow (Vacationland, Bulldog in the Whitehouse) once again revisits his own past, recounting the life of a freshman art school student whose relationship with a mysterious hustler leads him to work the streets himself.

Small-town cutie Joe (Tim Swain) arrives at the esteemed Rhode Island School of Design and befriends the free-spirited Jennifer (Julia Frey). The cash-strapped pair finds a lucrative opportunity when hustler Ramon (Gil Bar-Sela) inspires Joe to work as a prostitute. Meanwhile, he and Jennifer work to expand their creative horizons in the drug, sex and money-fueled world of the art school elite.

There is no doubt that the director is good despite the low budget that is clear in the poor and bared setting, as there is no doubt that this is also a true story (it's partially based on the life experience of the director, Todd Verow), but again, as for Vacationland, it's so sad that, even if a light can be see in the end, it's too weak to enlight the mood. True, if you see the movie in perspective, knowing that the young boy in Vacationland first, and in Between Something & Nothing here, is the director himself, and you know that he managed to find his path in life, well, then you can consider this as a must passage, life experiences that help you to grow.
