- A bittersweet fairytale hangover of the coming of age story, The Book of Caleb plays as a quirky and tender study of the quarter-life crisis.
When unfocused wanderer Caleb Callahan (Jeremy Luno) returns home to suburban Bucks County, Pennsylvania and reunites with childhood friends Montag (Michael Hampton) and Swank (Nikitas Manikatos), he finds himself swept into a dangerous anti-adulthood highlighted with overblown enemies and high concept pranks.
Love interest Cole (Mackenzie Firgens) somewhat grounds Caleb, but as the stakes get higher for the man- boy to stand up for his beliefs against the comic tyranny of real estate mogul James Paddington (Paul Gleason) and off-kilter Officer Scar (Jeff Berg), Caleb finds all his stability pulled out from under him, the questions of his existence diminished to those of friendship, loyalty and righteousness.
The Book of Caleb is an ultra low-budget independent film that director Matthew Von Manahan spent six years making from the basement of his parents home in suburban Philadelphia. The basement is also his current residential and legal address.
