From the creators of Hard Candy (Vulcan Productions) and American Pie (the Weitz Brothers) comes BICKFORD SHMECKLER'S COOL IDEAS, a cosmological college comedy by writer/director Scott Lew.
Patrick Fugit stars as Bickford in this sex-drugs-and-rock-and-roll comedy about a young man who has hidden himself away in a world of brain-melting, intellectually grandiose ideas. When his book of cool ideas is stolen by sexy, hedonistic Sarah (Olivia Wilde), Bickford is forced to get outside of himself to get it back. Ultimately, Bickfords story is one of an indomitable spirit triumphing over tragedy. The remarkable supporting cast includes Matthew Lillard (Scooby Doo, Without a Paddle), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), and John Cho (Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle).
