SYNOPSIS

GROWNUPS is the story of four kids - Matt, Brooke, Cody, and Hunter - who make a pact never to grow up after an off-hours encounter with toystore mascot and childhood idol Jarvis the Jackelope Jockey. Fifteen years later, three of them are still best friends, and their personalities and vocabularies are still well-preserved from the day they made their promise.



Then they run into Hunter, "the one that got away.."



Hunter's "different." He's married, he substitute teaches at a local elementary school, he's studying to become a lawyer, he drinks coffee every morning and he's had his driver's license for approximately one decade.

All of these achievements are alien concepts to Matt, Cody, and Brooke, and he inadvertently sends the three of them into a giant mess of doubt, decadence, fist fights, romance, revenge, and a very messy and complicated molestation charge, all of which threaten to make them come of age, whether they like it or not.





PRODUCTION NOTES

-Filmed on location in Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC during the summer of 2005.

-To make the first feature by PAPERCOOKIE, the crew of former NCSA students got together sporadically with then-current NCSA students throughout the summer.

-Director FERRER saved up a budget, in which most of it went to purchase a CANON XL2 camera, candy, and to reimburse gas.
