A Scenesters Selects Presentation
"A hearty style of self-referential filmmaking that only adds to the persuasiveness of Lillard's stunning performance."—Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader
It's 1985 and Stevo is that rare animal, a punk rocker in the Mormon stronghold of Salt Lake City, Utah. He just graduated from college with honors and now his life is a nutty roller coaster ride of rock shows, stealing cars, beating up rednecks and non-stop partying with his buddy, Heroin Bob, and his girlfriend. But with the scene getting lame and Stevo going nowhere fast, he has to put his punk ideals to the test. With a choice between "No Future" and Harvard Law School, what's a guy with blue hair supposed to do? Fueled by a classic punk rock soundtrack and hilarious, energetic performances, SLC PUNK! is one punk's madcap search for a way to grow up without selling out.
