Plot: BY HOOK OR BY CROOK is a highly original, mesmerizing first feature which takes bold creative and cultural risks at each turn. Emotionally riveting and ultimately transformative, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK is a buddy film that chronicles three weeks in the life of a handsome, gender-bending, small-town dishwasher with a nagging messiah-complex. Psychologically defeated since the death of her father, SHY heads to the big city to sink herself into a "life of crime". She is quickly distracted by VALENTINE, a deliriously expressive, wise-acre adoptee on a misguided search for her birthmother. The two freaky grifters join forces and learn the true meaning of "poise under pressure" in this visually stunning and superbly acted, anti-authoritarian tale of friendship, trust and redemption.A true tragic-comedy, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK has been called a female version of MIDNIGHT COWBOY — poignant and brave, bringing grace, pathos and humor to its socially insightful subjects. BY HOOK or BY CROOK gives voice to a powerful new creative sensibility and is also the first of its kind: a narrative fiction that picks up where BOYS DON'T CRY left off. Written and directed with gritty, visceral elegance and jaunty precision by HARRY DODGE and SILAS HOWARD, BY HOOK OR BY CROOK’s inspired visual style
