To quote from their Web site, Gates and Erik, who wrote, directed, and star in this feature, are “two high school punks from Birmingham, Alabama, trying to do what every self respecting human being wants to do: Find love and make movies. This is a film about high school, made while still attending it, so the thoughts and truths in the film have not been watered down and altered by other life experience, this is all we know, so the film is as truthful as it can be. It is part a recount of our lives up to this point (yes, its a bio-pic picture made by two 18-year-olds ), plus some made-up crap we threw in for good measure.” Horn is presently a student at UT.
