[ PAST EVENT ] I Like Movies // THE GREAT ESCAPE

Tickets $15. Finally making its way to the USA after the film’s TIFF premiere, I Like Movies transports us to the world of a movie-loving teenager working at a Canadian video rental store in the early 2000s. In Burlington, Ontario, in 2003, hyper-ambitious teenage cinephile Lawrence Kweller (Isaiah Lehtinen) dreams of attending film school at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. In order to raise the hefty tuition fee, he gets his dream job at the local video store, Sequels. Wracked with anxiety about his future, Lawrence begins alienating the most important people in his life—his best friend Matt Macarchuck (Percy Hynes White), his single mother Terri (Krista Bridges)—all while developing a complicated friendship with his older female manager, Alana (Romina D’Ugo). As graduation looms ever closer, a series of painful realizations force Lawrence to realize that he is a pretentious asshole.
