A psychological drama about perfectionism through the eyes of young queer crew rower, The Novice won Best US Narrative Feature, Best Actress, and Best Cinematography at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Equal parts sports film, coming-of-age drama, and psychological thriller, Alex’s story (played by the acclaimed Isabelle Fuhrman) ranges from euphoria to a crisis of self harm.
