○Overview

The Myth of the American Sleepover is an American indie film that deserves to be seen more widely. This debut work of director David Robert Mitchell established him as a bright new cinematic talent. This film freshly depicts a group of teenagers living in the suburbs of Detroit as they spend one last summer night together.

The Myth Of The American Sleepover

Set against the backdrop of mile roads, neighborhood blocks, abandoned factories and lakes which make up Metro-Detroit, this story follows four young people as they search for love and adventure on the last night of summer. Maggie, Rob, Claudia and Scott cross paths as they explore the suburban wonderland chasing first kisses, elusive crushes, popularity and parties.
They are looking for the iconic teenage experience, but instead they discover the quiet moments that will later become the part of their youth that they look back on with nostalgia.
