About Linus
During a typical morning in New York's East Village, two strangers are changed after a chance encounter. Linus, a street musician, is an East Village staple who serenades passersby with his most prized possession every morning, his trumpet. When Kyle, a young man from Harlem, neglectfully knocks over Linus' trumpet, his slight becomes an act that leaves both of these strangers changed forever.
Directed by Julius Onah, Linus leans on a strong ensemble — Bashir Solebo, B.J. Clinkscales — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2007.
