The premise of the film?
“Set in the summer of 1986, THE 4:30 MOVIE is a coming-of-age story about three sixteen-year-old friends (played by Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo and Reed Northrup) who spend their Saturdays secretly going to the movies at the local multiplex,” the film description reads. “But when one of the guys also invites the girl of his dreams (Siena Agudong) to see the latest comedy, each of the teens learns something serious about life and love before the credits roll.
“THE 4:30 MOVIE is set in the 1980s era before cell phones and social media and was filmed right here at the Smodcastle Cinemas. Smith and his co-owners saved the century-old Atlantic Highlands gem from demolition two years ago.”
