Hasta La Motion!

15-year-old Courvosier “Vosiey” Cox is a triple threat: an actor, singer and comedian, destined to perform sold-out shows in LA. He is planning the talent show he is sure will launch his career in front of hordes of adoring fans. But first he must navigate the challenging landscape of adolescence, a tumultuous time that brings a new sense of independence along with a search for self and longing for acceptance. And for Vosiey, growing up in inner-city Durham, NC, that means struggling to find his place in a complex and often contradictory world. As he treads the tenuous line between childhood and adulthood and between dreams and reality, he will undertake a relentless quest to escape into the spotlight, no matter what. UPDATE: In the summer of 2016, Courvosier Cox, 16, was arrested for several dozen charges related to stolen electronics and the case was heard in the Durham County adult Superior Court system. In May 2017, he pled guilty to three felony charges and is currently on supervised probation.
