A New Wave is a 2006 American heist comedy film written and directed by Jason Carvey.

Plot

A would-be artist is working in a dead-end job as a bank teller. At the urging of his movie-obsessed slacker roommate, he agrees to be the inside man for a bank heist. While the heist plans are coordinated, the artist's girlfriend arranges for him to have his first gallery exhibition. But when he tries to stop the heist, the plan is too far into motion to be halted.

Reception

Release

The film was a direct-to-DVD release, distributed by ThinkFilm.[3]
