Filmed a year before Alexander Payne’s CITIZEN RUTH in Omaha (and at Carhenge near Alliance, Neb.), the movie’s cast and crew includes dozens of locals, including two future US senators, the director of THE LAST JEDI and the creator of NBC’s THE BLACKLIST. The anarchic caper put the River City on the indie film map and set Mirvish on the path to becoming the influential Slamdance Festival-founding filmmaker he is today.
