The Busker
When a white cop is acquitted of shooting an unarmed black man, violence erupts and the city is overcome with protests and riots. One man is killed. Seamus O’Mallie, a 14 year-old white boy, watches as his father is shot to death outside their home. Months later, it’s the Christmas season. While busking (street performing for money) with his violin, Seamus meets two people who will change his life: Ruby is a fun and sympathetic black girl with whom he falls in love. Oliver, a music instructor, becomes a father figure who presents him with an opportunity to get off the streets and pursue a dream in London. Now, Seamus must choose between his present feelings and a promise for his future. [The Busker was selected out of nearly 5,500 scripts as a semi-finalist in the 2001 Academy of Motion Picture's Nicholl Fellowship (oscars.org).]
