'The big spectacle of the movie is the ensemble: it's a pile-up of dynamite actors going full tilt through broad slapstick comedy, chase movie shenanigans, nasty human darkness and ultimately a hopeful friendship story. From the on-fire leads to the scene-stealing cameos, it was a plain delight to watch every single one of these folks work at being Idiots.' - Macon Blair, Producer, Writer & Director
Writer/director Macon Blair attended alongside the cast, and the post-screening reception at Vidiots drew additional guests including Alison Brie, Jay Duplass, Cameron Esposito, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jeremy Saulnier, Nick Kocher, Danielle Panabaker, Jeremy Scott, Anna Konkle and Daryl Wein.
