High School Record
Ben Wolfinsohn, 2008
Catalog No.: FTF-004
Length: 90 minutes
High School Record follows four awkward 17-year-olds as they struggle through their senior year. Like most high school students, they ride a continual wave of embarrassment: crappy after-school jobs, attempted sex in the science room, tinfoil shorts, guitar-strumming hippie teachers, and brushes with the law. The only difference is that their moments of humiliation are all caught on tape — our gang of four are the subjects of a documentary shot by fellow classmates.
Starring: members of No Age, Mika Miko, Lavender Diamond and Minutemen
Official Selection of Sundance, SXSW and New York Underground Film Festivals

“A movie of uncommon feeling and authenticity… Gives vivid life to a host of memorable characters who don't easily fit into the usual high school movie stereotypes… A found object, a time capsule unearthed.”
- Scott Foundas, Variety
“Nothing like Napoleon Dynamite, but instead comes off more like Penelope Spheeris’ 1984 punk rock classic Suburbia. There’s a raw authenticity here.”
- Eric Campos, Film Threat
