Simon Rex stole photos before he stole hearts in this forgotten '90s time capsule.
Snapped examines the lives of a colorful group of young people as they try to connect with each other and stay amused in a sleepy Long Island town. Tara, a social outcast reunites with her high school sweetheart Billy who is on the lam from a low-down gangster. When Tara falls for Shane, a voyeuristic loner, who gets thrills from stealing snapshots from the local photo shop where he works, the characters lives intersect in this Lynchian town where still waters run deep.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Simon Rex's first film role, two years before he became an MTV VJ and eventual cult horror icon in 'Red Rocket.'
Released the same year as 'The Truman Show,' this tiny indie accidentally anticipated our entire surveillance culture—but with photo labs instead of reality TV.
