Herbert, Herb for short, is a first year university student stoner learning how to roll an ordinary joint. In the fear of being rejected by the other students down the hall he is encouraged to visit Grand Master Piff. An ancient guru who lives in Chinatown. Herbert needs to learn the way of the roll rather than be rejected by Kye, the leader of a friendship group he is so desparate to join. On his journey of adversity the protagonist learns the art of self-respect and eventually dismisses Kye and the other ‘cool’ students down the hall, to share his newfound rolling skills with the neighbour he’s helplessley in love with. On A Roll is currently on a film festival circuit for a year. Trailer coming soon.
