The Myth of the American Sleepover is a youthful and tender coming-of-age drama from first-time writer/director David Robert Mitchell. In the tradition of freewheeling tributes to adolescence like Dazed & Confused, the film follows four young people (a cast of brilliant newcomers in their feature film debuts) on the last night of summer—their final night of freedom before the new school year starts. The teenagers cross paths as they explore the suburban wonderland they inhabit in search of love and adventure—chasing first kisses, elusive crushes, popularity, and parties—and discover the quiet moments that will later resonate as the best in their youth. The film will screen Friday, September 30 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, October 1 at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m.; and Sunday, October 2 at 5:30 p.m. Admission is $7 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non-UM students, and staff. General admission is $9. Free for UM students. To purchase tickets online or for more information, visit www.cosfordcinema.com or call 305-284-4861.
