7:30 ~ GOODNIGHT COLLEGE world premiere w/ filmmaker Q&A
Goodnight College captures one Friday night at UT Austin, from sunset to sunrise, two weeks before graduation. Inspired by Dazed & Confused but completely unscripted, the film makes you feel like you’re really here, pinballing around uniquely relatable pockets of student life for one wild, messy, free, entertaining, interconnected night.
There’s UT’s Ice Hockey team on the night of a big game, filled with fights and locker room pep-talks. There’s SNAFU, the improv troupe on the night of their big show plus the following afterparty. The local mini-mart everyone comes and goes from. Seniors on one last hurrah around West Campus. Freshmen up all night studying at the PCL library. The food trucks. A co-op party that also has a puppet show for some reason. The late night SNL-style comedy show racing to get ready before air. Everyone enjoying one last night at Cain & Abel's (the og location). And the Longhorn Run everyone comes together for at sunrise, bringing it all home.
This film celebrates the magic of what it actually feels like to be young and alive, in a way that makes you feel truly a part of the college ecosystem for one ragingly fun, memorable night.
