Pam says:
“First Date” is a genre-defying film as it melds comedy, crime thriller, and adventure in a sweet coming-of-age movie. First-time feature film writers and directors Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp harness the energy and drive of two newcomers to the film arena—Shelby Duclos as Kelsey, a confident, tough, and intelligent young woman and Tyson Brown the awkward teen Mike who has a crush on Kelsey. Buying a dilapidated car by a shady swindler, Mike’s life unravels as he attempts to make it in time to pick up Kelsey for their first date…and survive. It’s a violent yet comedic story that somehow has heart with over-the-top characters that we love to watch.
