Storyline
High School Teenagers in 1979 suburb of New Orleans (Fat City) go to nightclubs and discos when the drinking age was just 18 years old and not really enforced. Elvis Costello, The Knack and KC & The Sunshine Band have featured music in this independent film. Its Paul's Senior year and Ashley wants to be his girlfriend, but the cops and a roving eye keeps Paul chasing cheerleaders and young models in his Babylon Modeling class. Tara, Paul's ex-girlfriend causes problems while his pot dealer's girlfriend has other things in mind. Can we say 'shot gun?' This coming of age comedy also has background score by 'That 70's Show' composer, Brett Perry and spotlights the 'high' days of 1979. Written by

I really enjoyed this funny "coming of age" type film! Watching this film, it struck me how close to reality the characters were, especially Paul, a modern day Casanova and not unlike today's metro sexual! I thought the dialog was snappy and smart and loved the look of the film. As someone who has lived a large part of my 35 years in the Fat City area I would like to thank the filmmakers for documenting the Fat City area of New Orleans since there is very little literature / media about the area and its perspective from teenagers growing up in the area. See this film, it is a great way to experience time in an area long forgotten and seldom shared!
