As T.C. Sharpe, one of the terrific supporting actors, says in the making-of documentary: “You need to see this movie so you can see how a first-time movie is done.”
What a great premise, I'm sold. Love the "Made in Memphis" mark on the poster, too. I have such a soft spot for movies where the city is essentially a supporting character.
It's a simple premise but so effective, especially knowing it's all character-driven because of the budget. And yes, it's extremely Memphis! Hope you give it a watch. 💙
Preciate that! Yeah, I don't know why it's never gotten proper distribution given how big Brewer has gotten. Maybe distributors think it's too lo-fi for modern audiences. 🤷♂️

Great deep-dive; had never heard of this one before today!

If you care enough about a creative idea you have, you will do anything to make it happen. Brewer embodied this making this film.
Amen. And I love that he's still proud of it too. Plenty of directors would sweep it under the rug or call it a "student film."
Yeah I’m also not mad at the footloose remake. Great article. I knew nothing about this movie, but now I do !
Footloose! Man. What a picture.
