Smartass

2017 · 90 min

A gritty, unpredictable ride through a teenage runaway's dangerous night, mixing dark humor with real peril.

Tagline: Where $50,000 worth of LSD, a 15 year old runaway and an itsy bitsy race war collide.
Overview: Based on true events (mostly), Freddie, a 15-year-old runaway becomes intimately acquainted with California’s “Murder City” after being released from jail, just shy of midnight. Absurdly self-reliant, completely broke and 120 miles away from her friends she has nothing to depend on but her wit and youthful charm.
How it feels: Dark, tense, cynical and absurd. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Survival, crime, coming-of-age, isolation
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
