Set in 1985, the film is a love letter to the coming-of-age comedy set squarely in the decade when hip hop was born. “It sounds generic, a shy 13 year-old boy in 1985 goes to Ocean City, MD with his parents and falls in love with a girl,” Tully told The Daily Buzz. Though Tully has a few films under his belt including 2011’s Septien, which premiered at Sundance, he nevertheless landed a titan of the big screen, Susan Sarandon for his feature. “Are there any other Oscar-winning actresses that owns a ping-pong club?” asked Tully, referring to Sarandon’s stake in a popular ping pong venue in Manhattan.
