In making The Suburbanators , there were certain issues that I wanted to deal with.
Young guys looking for dope can be amusing at times, but as in real life, it is a banal pursuit.
It is an activity usually characterized by a complete lack of drama. It is, in actuality, anti-drama. Another thing I wanted to look at was the uncommunicative nature and sexist attitudes of these young men towards the women in their lives. I wanted to deal with that dialogue that happens between guys when no one else is around, and treat it realistically. The characters in The Suburbanators would probably not consider themselves sexist, but there is that immaturity and social bravado that comes out when they are in the privacy of a car.
