The SouthSide Film Institute is proud to present Growing Up Smith (fka Good Ol' Boy) as the opening night film for the 13th annual SouthSide Film Festival.
Growing Up Smith writer/producer/actor Anjul Nigam (BAD WORDS, TRUE DETECTIVE), will be in attendance for the SouthSide Film Festival opening night screening of the film!
GROWING UP SMITH is the feel-good, coming-of-age story of Smith, a 10-year-old boy from India growing up in Small Town, America in 1979.
As the boy's family tries to straddle the fine line between embracing the American Dream and preserving their Indian heritage, we watch our awkward little hero sneak out for a taste of Kentucky Fried Chicken (even though his family is vegetarian), don a 'Saturday Night Fever' costume, and contend with his parents as they send him to school with a yellow squash instead of a pumpkin to carve for Halloween.
And as Smith falls head-over-heels in love with Amy, the girl-next-door, he finds in Amy's father Butch the all-American cowboy he wishes his own father could be. But alas, when Smith goes on a hunting adventure with Butch, Smith's father Bhaaskar fears Smith will lose any hope of remaining a respectable Indian boy and life may never be the same again.
Growing Up Smith stars Jason Lee, Anjul Nigam, The Walking Dead’s Brighton Sharbino, Roni Akurati, Hilarie Burton, Poorna Jagannathan, Shoba Narayanan, and Samrat Chakrabarti.
