Patriot Releasing Sets Teen Comedy Almost Popular for Theatrical Release August 28th
Patriot Releasing Sets Teen Comedy Almost Popular for Theatrical Release August 28th Jul 29, 2025 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Patriot Releasing Sets Teen Comedy Almost Popular for Theatrical Release August 28th Starring Ruby Rose Turner, Reid Miller, and Isabella Ferreira, “Almost Popular” is the first of several coming-of-age stories being released by Patriot Pictures’ distribution company, Patriot Releasing. Los Angeles, CA – July 29, 2025 – Patriot Pictures, the independent film company known for championing director’s visions and character-driven storytelling, announces the release of Almost Popular, a bold and hilarious teen comedy starring Ruby Rose Turner (Disney’s Descendants: The Rise of Red), Reid Miller (Joe Bell), and Isabella Ferreira (Crush, Incoming). The film is the first of several coming-of-age stories being released by Patriot Pictures’ distribution company, Patriot Releasing, and will have an exclusive release in theatres in the United States starting August 28, 2025. This smart, subversive twist on classic high school comedies follows two misfit teens on a misguided mission to join the school’s most exclusive clique—the ultra-trendy POP Girls. Their journey spirals into a series of humiliations, hard truths, and ultimately, a heartfelt lesson in self-worth. “Almost Popular is a love letter to the teen comedies I grew up watching in the ’90s and 2000’s,” said director Nayip Anthony Garcia. “As someone who had a difficult childhood, I often turned to movies for comfort and escape. This film blends that nostalgic energy with a modern voice—it’s about finding your people, embracing your weirdness, and learning to be comfortable in your own skin.” The cast also features an ensemble of rising young talent and digital-native stars with massive reach, including Ellodee Carpenter (Gray Matter), Elijah M. Cooper (Disney’s Goosebumps, CW’s All American), Arden Myrin (Shameless, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Kathleen Rose Perkins (Colony, NCIS), Avi Angel, Victoria Caro, Sharlize True, Shariah True, Sarah Dorothy Little, Tahani Anderson, Brooklyn Queen, Owen Morgan, Connor Finnerty, and Tyshon Lawrence. Almost Popular had a successful festival run, premiering to a sold out 500 seat theatre at Dances with Films at the Chinese Theatres in Hollywood, CA, and winning Best Writers at La Femme Film Festival and the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature Film at the Gasparilla International Film Festival. It received the ReFrame Stamp for Gender-Balanced Production (led by the Sundance Institute and Women in Film LA). Almost Popular is directed by Nayip Anthony Garcia, an auteur known for his visual storytelling in music videos for artists like Camila Cabello, Sofia Carson, Jordan Fisher, and Alessia Cara. The script is written by Pamela Duffy-Little and Eleni Rivera, with casting by Seth Yanklewitz (The Hangover, New Girl) and Ben Pollack (Crush, How I Met Your Father). It is packaged and produced by Grace Santos, p.g.a., with Natalie Perrotta serving as executive producer. Patriot’s upcoming films include California Schemin’, the directorial debut of James McAvoy which will have its world premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival, DreamQuil starring Elizabeth Banks, and Alicia in Wonderland starring Ella Bleu Travolta. Recent releases include God Is a Bullet (dir. Nick Cassavetes, starring Maika Monroe, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Jamie Foxx), Blackout (starring Josh Duhamel), Cut Throat City (dir. RZA, starring Shameik Moore, Kat Graham, Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke), and Synchronic (dir. Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson, starring Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan). Patriot Pictures is represented by UTA, Anne Jordan, Esq., Ryan Webb, Esq. of Greenberg Glusker LLP. http://almostpopularmovie.com # # # Sylvia Desrochers MPRM Communications 323.933.3399
Will teens save the movies? LA Times Article
Reposting this awesome article about youth and movies! https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2024-10-24/ucla-report-teenagers-teens-entertainment-habit-movies Will teens save the movies? Here’s what a surprising new study says about youth and Hollywood By Christi Carras Staff Writer Oct. 24, 2024 7 AM PT Good news for theaters still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and other industry disruptions: A new UCLA study has found that teenagers’ favorite thing to do is going to the movies. The latest installment of the university’s “Teens and Screens” report — which surveyed 1,500 young people across the U.S. ages 10 to 24 — identified going to see a film on opening weekend as adolescents’ No. 1 pastime when cost, transportation and other barriers are removed from the equation. Among that age group, moviegoing ranked above watching sports, playing video games, streaming movies or TV shows on personal devices and other forms of entertainment. When factoring in cost and other obstacles, however, 39.2% of teens selected playing video games as their favorite activity over watching TV or movies (33.3%) or scrolling on social media (27.5%). “The lore really is that all they care about is social media and YouTube and streaming and bingeing and that the movie business is dead,” said Yalda Uhls, executive director of the Center for Scholars and Storytellers at UCLA. “I was buying into the narrative that kids don’t care about movies as much. But the reality is, when you ask them, they really do care.” Movie theaters need all the youthful enthusiasm they can get. Box office ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada are down 11% from last year and remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels, according to Comscore. Uhls, a former movie executive, said that studios tend to ignore the teen demographic and that in order to effectively tap into that market, they need to do a better job of reaching out to young people of various backgrounds and taking their habits and preferences into account. “Do the research,” Uhls said. “If you’re making content for teens, think about the lived experience of all teens.” So what do teenagers want to see onscreen? According to the UCLA report, 36.2% of adolescents prefer fantasy over other genres; 63.5% value stories about friendship and platonic relationships over romance; and 62.4% believe that sex scenes are not necessary to advance the plot of TV shows and movies. (Only survey participants 14 and older were asked for their opinions about on-screen sex.) Each of those totals saw a huge jump (of at least 39%) compared with last year’s study. On the other end of the spectrum, only 7.2% of young people enjoyed movies and TV shows about the rich and famous; 13.9% said they wanted to watch films and series tackling real-life issues that affect society. Amid all of the information about shootings, climate change, injustice, politics, war and other real-world issues dominating the news and social media, kids need an escape, Uhls said. And not just in the form of superhero movies. “It feels like that’s all we give them,” Uhls said. “They want to see a broader array.” On the exhibition side, theaters can attract more teens by offering event screenings — encouraging patrons to wear costumes to the show, for example — and offering group discounts for young people, Uhls said. “It’s just that typical moviegoing experience,” Uhls added. “They all love it the way I did growing up … and if you give it to them, they will come.”

Director Statement – Nayip Anthony Garcia
Director Statement – Nayip Anthony Garcia June 5, 2024 As a young child, my best friends were the ones on the tv screen. I grew up on comedies and films that helped me escape a difficult childhood. The characters in this story were my classmates, best friends, crushes, and my make-believe family. They taught me about life. I went on treasure hunts with the Goonies, beat the system with Ferris Bueller, and learned to love and forgive with The Breakfast Club. I’ve always loved over-the-top comedies that were geared for kids but still funny enough for adults. When I read Almost Popular, it took me back to those childhood days where my carefree inner child could kick back and thoroughly enjoy moments of pure comedy imitating life in an unforgettable way. Nayip Anthony Garcia (f/k/a Nayip Ramos) is a Puerto Rican, Los Angeles based director known for his eye catching visually creative concepts, millennial approved music videos, and consistent career launching results. Unearthing talent in young adults and introducing them to the world through uniquely personalized visuals has led Nayip to launch the careers of Johnny Orlando, Mackenzie Ziegler, Jordyn Jones, Forever in Your Mind, the Brooklyn and Bailey Twins, Carson Leuders, Kylie Cantrall, Ruby Rose Turner, and countless more. Nayip has also partnered with some of today’s top artists including Tim McGraw, Camilla Cabello, Sofia Carson, Jordan Fisher, Alessia Cara, and Kelsea Ballerini. Nayip’s keen knowledge of youth culture’s beating pulse provided a natural transition to scripted youth based content.

Nayip is now focusing his career on feature films and television. “Almost Popular” is his debut. HOME ABOUT FILMS IN DEVELOPMENT NOTES CONTACT Copyright (c) 2023 – Present; All Rights Reserved.
