GRADUATION stars Adam Arkin, Shannon Lucio from The O.C., Riley Smith from Freaks and Geeks, Chris Marquette from The Education of Charlie Banks, Chris Lowell from Veronica Mars, Aimee Garcia from Spanglish, and a cameo appearance by Huey Lewis.
Synopsis: When a friend is in need of financial assistance, the logical next step is to plan a bank robbery. At least that was the conclusion of four high school friends about to embark on the next stage of their lives. The question is will they pull off this heist in time to toss their caps at graduation or have they gotten themselves way in over their heads?
GRADUATION is being released theatrically in limited/selected U.S. cities by Magnolia Pictures in association with Wagner/Cuban's Truly Indie and Redwood Palm Pictures this May 2, 2008. And, in a quick turnaround effort to still hit the graduation time frame this year••¦Magnolia Home Entertainment will release the DVD of GRADUATION on May 13th, 2008.
It is a full featured DVD with a commentary track, deleted scenes, alternate opening to the film, storyboard segment, blooper reel, etc••¦As well as Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and a direct digital transfer from the HDSR film master.
The DVD has been sold through to Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Blockbuster Video, Hollywood Video, Netflix, Amazon.com, DVD Empire.com, and more retailers. So••¦one should be able to buy it pretty much anywhere on May 13th, 2008.
GRADUATION is a project I am very proud to have been a part of and if you all take the time to check it out in theatres (if it is playing in a city near you), or on the DVD that follows, I promise you all will enjoy the film.
The film's official website has the most recent trailer for the film, but others older ones can be found on YouTube.
