The foreign exchange student your mom warned you about—and you definitely ignored her.

Costume
1984 Syracuse suburban fashion is a character itself.
Acting
Byrd's Juan Jose: charm so thick you smell the lies.
Director
Michael Walker
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
1980s American teen cinema fetishized European exchange students as sophisticated sex objects—this film seems to interrogate that trope from inside.
Director Michael Walker previously explored female delusion in 'Price Check'; this appears to be his suburban teen fever dream companion piece.

I thought I was watching a hollywood trailer for a second and was wondering when I clicked this video lol
@Brendan986 97
chat so i was so confused because i thought since when did American High make movies like lowk I genuinely thought that they were just a group of friends making comedy sketches for fun. but no this is a full out Hollywood Indie studio these sketches were supposed to bring you in so that you actually watch their real content (the movies) so and like I went down a rabbit hole with ALLLLLL the LOOOOOOOOOOOREEE (matpat fr) (they also own CollegeLife (obvi) BarelyAdult and Unhireables) (I just thought they got inspired from one another and made skits) THAT EXPLAINS WHY NONE OF THE OGs WERE IN THIS and why the content was not like a mock trailer I cannot believe it; I feel bamboozled HAHAH; the shorts were a corporate fish hook and I fell hook line and sinker. well played; cant wait for this movie.
