Courtesy of Sundance Institute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Shy highschooler Mike finally summons the courage to ask out his badass neighbor Kelsey, only to realize he\u2019s missing a key element for a successful date &#8211; the car. Panicked and low on cash, he\u2019s conned into buying a beat up \u201865 Chrysler. Mike&#8217;s plan to win over Kelsey soon turns into a surreal misadventure when they are inexplicably targeted by a pair of cops, a criminal gang, and a vengeful cat lady. A night fueled by desire, bullets, and burning rubber makes any other first date seem like a walk in the park.<\/p>\n<p>In this perfectly executed throwback thrill ride, directing duo Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp deftly weave together elements of dark comedy, teen romance, shoot &#8217;em up action and classic coming-of-age story, creating a truly entertaining ride that never misses a beat. This refreshing mix of tones, coupled with a break-out performance from Tyson Brown as Mike, make FIRST DATE a truly outstanding first feature.<\/p>\n<p>DIRECTOR\u2019S STATEMENT<br \/>\nMovie night at Darren&#8217;s. A long-standing tradition, where friends gather together to break out old favorites, new discoveries, and the ones we&#8217;ve been hearing about forever but were just waiting for bluray to see them at their best. Projector, surround sound, the works. Might as well be church.<\/p>\n<p>With all due respect to the classics of old, and the titans of film history, our sermons circa 2017 tended to go the way of Robert, Kevin, Quentin, Joel and Ethan, among others. We&#8217;d reminisce about a bygone, yet recent time- a time when these indie rebels, and many others, started shooting their breakout films. And you felt that&#8230; that electricity on the screen. Y\u2019know?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why don&#8217;t they make &#8217;em like this anymore?&#8221;\u200b we wondered.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get us wrong- we both love modern movies. Dramas, blockbusters, superheroes, you name it. But, whatever happened to fun, suspenseful, ensemble-driven films that had scale but also felt kinda&#8230; odd? Could movies be made today that felt like that?<\/p>\n<p>We weren&#8217;t sure. But, we figured we could always go shoot one. Why the hell not?<\/p>\n<p>We wanted to make an independent flick, the kind that had a certain kinship to many of our favorites from the 90s and early 2000s, but that still felt exciting and fresh. Something with youthful energy, but also with bite to it. Something that could mix comedy, suspense, romance and violence while feeling like a natural blend. Kinda like mixing all the different sodas at the soda fountain. You&#8217;re not supposed to do it but damn, it&#8217;s a sugar rush. Something that would allow us to play with special effects and spotlight a unique ensemble cast. And also something that we would have seen when we were just getting into filmmaking, and been \u200bstoked\u200b about.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, why not make it homespun? First Date is shot in Valley Springs, the town we both grew up in, a generation apart in age (and where Darren still lives). Almost the entire cast and crew consists of individuals from the greater Sacramento and Valley Springs regions. We knew our local area was full of talent- so why not highlight them? We both felt that screen presence and chemistry amounted to more than an IMDB star rating. Let&#8217;s give everyone their shot!<\/p>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t have a studio to help us make this movie. Besides, who was gonna fund two NorCal indie filmmakers with no features under their belt? What would they say about the script? \u200b&#8221;Sierra Mist was fine, why did they put fucking Dr. Pepper in here?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Who knows what would have been said? (Not us, cause we didn&#8217;t wait to find out.) Call it determination, call it foolishness or call it not being prepared- we simply started filming. We figured if we could put a few self-funded scenes together, we could use those to start generating further budget investments, and then pull off the bigger scenes. (Fortunately for us, it worked out exactly that way, otherwise you wouldn&#8217;t be reading this director&#8217;s statement!)<\/p>\n<p>The end result? A movie with layers for those searching for them- but also a thrilling ride for those who want entertainment. The characters and story within have deeply personal meanings for us, but we also hope that viewers will take away their own meanings from them too. The highest honor for us would be that this movie ends up on the shelf of a fellow genre cinephile, having their own movie night with friends, and saying\u200b &#8220;Have you heard of First Date? &#8230;.. Oh, you GOTTA check this one out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy,<\/p>\n<p>Manuel &amp; Darren<\/p>\n<p>ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS<br \/>\nManuel Crosby &#8211; Director<br \/>\nGrowing up in Valley Springs, California, Manuel Crosby discovered filmmaking around age twelve and has since written, directed, shot, edited, and produced numerous projects, including the short western film DEAD MAN&#8217;S LOCKET (2017) and the thrillers PRECAUTION (2014) and BROADCAST (2012).

Brandon\u2019s primary responsibilities on FIRST DATE include; raising capital, day-to-day production management, budgeting, contract negotiation, and distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Lucky McKee &#8211; Producer<br \/>\nLucky McKee is an award-winning producer, screenwriter, director, and novelist best known for work directing the cult hit MAY (2002), the schoolgirl chiller THE WOODS (2006), and the notorious 2011 Sundance shocker, THE WOMAN. Lucky oversees FIRST DATE\u2019S post production team in El Paso, Texas and will be introducing the film to multiple distributors as well as facilitating showings at the larger film festivals.<\/p>\n<p>Charles Horak &#8211; Producer<br \/>\nCharles Horak is a fifth generation El Pasoan. He is the director of the monthly film screening series, The Film Salon, and host of the long-running radio program, On Film, which airs weekly on KTEP 88.5FM.

He knew that he would one day be in front of a camera too. A few years later, Brown moved to Sacramento, California, and started acting in short films with local filmmakers. Brown\u2019s breakout role as Mike in this year\u2019s FIRST DATE will be his first time acting in a feature film.<\/p>\n<p>Shelby Duclos &#8211; Kelsey<br \/>\nShelby Duclos\u2019 passion for acting started at a young age. In elementary school, she took a media class where she learned how to operate a camera and the rest is history. Duclos would film, direct and act in her own self made movies on an old school camcorder and star in her small town\u2019s production of Annie as Annie, feeding her desires to act and make short films well into her high school years. To continue to work on her craft, Shelby joined the high school drama club for 2 out of her 4 years landing astounding roles like \u201cgirl with umbrella\u201d.. She knew then that theater acting, as beautiful as it is, just wasn\u2019t for her. Duclos\u2019 passion for acting never stopped, however it wouldn\u2019t be until her mid-twenties that she decided to stop ignoring the fire inside of her to act and she finally took a TV\/Film acting class at Sacramento\u2019s local acting studio, Studio 24. Since day 1 of acting class, Shelby\u2019s heart was set on wanting to act. She worked on various Sacramento\/ Bay Area student projects and would ultimately land her first big role as Kelsey in her first Feature Film, FIRST DATE debuting in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>CREDITS<br \/>\nWritten, Directed and Produced by Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp<br \/>\nProduced by Brandon Kraus<br \/>\nProduced by Lucky McKee and Charles Horak<br \/>\nCinematography by Manuel Crosby<br \/>\nMusic Composed by Noah Lowdermilk, Kevin Kentera, and Manuel Crosby<br \/>\nAdditional Music by Mads Heldtberg<br \/>\nEdited by Zach Passero and Manuel Crosby<br \/>\nSound Design by Andrew Smetek<br \/>\nFirst Assistant Director<br \/>\nBrandon Kraus<br \/>\nSecond Assistant Director<br \/>\nJosh Fesler<br \/>\nLK<br \/>\nExecutive Producers<br \/>\nBrandon Kraus<br \/>\nManuel Crosby<br \/>\nDara Bazzano<br \/>\nRob Longwell<br \/>\nLK<br \/>\nChristian Milner<br \/>\nAssociate Producers<br \/>\nDarren Knapp<br \/>\nHarold &amp; Carol Crosby<br \/>\nCarol Knapp<br \/>\nPaul Duclos<br \/>\nCameron Samimi<br \/>\nElijah Korobkin<\/p>\n<p>CAST<br \/>\nTyson Brown as Mike<br \/>\nShelby Duclos as Kelsey<br \/>\nJesse Janzen as The Captain<br \/>\nNicole Berry as Sergeant Davis<br \/>\nSamuel Ademola as Deputy Duchovny<br \/>\nRyan Quinn Adams as Vince<br \/>\nAngela Barber as Ricky<br \/>\nDave Reimer as Shannon<br \/>\nJake Howard as Donnie<br \/>\nSamantha Laurenti as Mikaylah<br \/>\nScott Noble as Dennis<br \/>\nLeah Finity as Darla<br \/>\nShari Schweigler as Thelma<br \/>\nGraham Green as Roger<br \/>\nJosh Fesler as Brett<br \/>\nBrandon Kraus as Chet<br \/>\nGreg Jones as Ross<br \/>\nTodd Goble as Tony<br \/>\nSara Garcia as Tasha<br \/>\nDesalene Jones as Kelsey\u2019s Mom<br \/>\nDarrell P.
