I Like Movies

[Machine Translation] Voted one of the best Canadian comedies of all time! What happens to a troublemaking high school student's love of movies? The film is the feature debut of rising star Chandler Levac, whose poignant script with autobiographical elements was enthusiastically received at the Toronto International Film Festival and went on to win four Vancouver Film Critics Circle Awards, including the Best Canadian Film Award. The main character Lawrence is played by Isaiah Lettinen, a young actor and rapper. --Lawrence is a high school student living in a rural town in Canada, where movies are his life's passion. He is socially awkward and doesn't get along with the people around him, and his only wish is to study film at New York University with Todd Solondz. While hanging out with his only friend Matt every day, he dreams of making a fresh start in college. In order to save money for his expensive tuition, Lawrence starts working part-time at a local video store called "Sequels," where he meets many people, including the manager Alana, a former aspiring actress, and develops a strange friendship with them. However, Lawrence's fears about his future lead him to critically injure the people he cares about... A 2-minute theatrical trailer is included as a bonus feature.
