About the film:
Writer-director Kevin Smith presents his most personal film to date with this coming-of-age story—set in the summer of 1986— that follows three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex. When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans.
About the filmmaker:
Ever since his emergence onto the national stage, writer-director Kevin Smith became the idol of aspiring filmmakers everywhere when his independent feature Clerks (1994)—made for a startlingly low sum of $27,575—earned awards at both the Cannes and Sundance film festivals and went on to become a wild success in limited art house release.
Self-referential to a fault, Smith uses his films to expand his fictional universe populated with a regular cast of characters who eventually crossed over into other mediums, including comic books and an animated television series. Some of Smith’s most well-known films include Chasing Amy (1997), Dogma (1999), Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (2001), and Tusk (2014). As a podcaster, Smith cohosts several shows on his SModcast Podcast Network, including SModcast, Fatman Beyond, and the live show Hollywood Babble-On.
