2020 Film Festival
In conversation with Director Olivia Wilde
film synopsis
Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein star as best friends and academic perfectionists Amy and Molly in the comedy about the bonds we create that last a lifetime in Booksmart. Having spent the last four years in high school singularly focused on besting their play-minded peers, these overachievers - on the eve of graduation - decide to cram years of not-to-be missed fun into one night. Going headlong into the evening, the duo face the possibility they have far more in common with those they've been judging than they realized. Directed by Olivia Wilde, from an original script by Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins, Susanna Fogel, and Katie Silberman. Booksmart also stars Billie Lourd, Diana Silvers, Skyler Gisondo, Molly Gordon, Noah Galvin, Austin Crute, Victoria Ruesga, Eduardo Franco, Nico Hiraga, Mason Gooding and Mike O'Brien, along with Jessica Williams, Lisa Kudrow, Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis.
