I’m very excited by the fact that I’m able to get to make a movie and be influenced by the things that I was influenced by growing up. It’s like, it’s not really a direct homage to something, but you know, I think it’s like if you like ‘Back To The Future’ or ‘Smokey And The Bandit’ or ‘The Blues Brothers’ or ‘Risky Business,’ or even some of the more sort of genre movies like ‘Point Break’ or ‘Heat,’ I think you’ll like this film.
