1.
From the clever and caustic mind of Bruce
McCulloch, YOUNG DRUNK PUNK is an original comedy about the trials and tragedy
of growing up on the fringes of society. It's a rough and hilarious look back
at simpler times and a complicated age - and at two young rebels determined to
stay true to themselves, and fight against the scratchy caftan of conformity.
Ian McKay (Tim Carlson) and his best friend
Shinky (Atticus Mitchell) are two young punks searching for their great
destinies in the back alleys of Calgary, Alberta, circa 1980. Together, they
face down cowboys and oilmen, hockey goons and movie snobs, odd-jobbers and
hairdressers and through it all find a way to grow up without selling out.
With the help of Ian's flawed, but loving
family (father Lloyd (Bruce McCulloch), mom Helen (Tracy Ryan), and his
outrageously outgoing sister Belinda (Allie MacDonald), Ian and Shinky find new
opportunities to blow minds, exporting their special brand of offbeat
revolution for the 80's - seeking out love and working to change the world, one
young drunk punk at a time.
