A long time ago... in the summer of 1981, a tragedy of epic proportions (a broken plastic bat) sends five friends on an epic adventure to the mall. All they have to do is follow The Stream and back.
Acting
Rainn Wilson's wistful narrator voice carries the whole nostalgia trip.
Production
Shockingly authentic 1981 period detail on a shoestring budget.

Director
Estlin Feigley
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Estlin Feigley shot this in rural Pennsylvania with mostly local non-professional kids, explaining the authentic 'we found a camera' energy.
The mall-as-destination plot hits different now; in 2013 this was already nostalgic, post-2019 it's practically archaeological.
