"They said, 'We'll shoot it on digital; you have a $500,000 budget and 18 days to film and total creative freedom."* Maggenti found Elizabeth Reaser, who would play AHcgra, a week before filming started. "Elizabeth was the right, extraordinary combination that you'd buy that she was an intellectual extraor- dinary person, but she was adorable at the same time," said Maggenti. "I think it's very difficult to play a person of the mind and pull it off," she added. But, Reaser, she said, nailed the role. She was joined by Justin Kirk, who played Philip and Gretchen Mol. who played Grace. Once the cast was installed, Maggenti said the filming went extremely smootliJy, with the actors performing admirably.

Maggenti explores the aspects of gender politics through a fluid sense of sexuality and her humor. But. as Caroline Libresco notes in her description of the film in the Sundance Film Festival Film Guide, the movie isn't so much about sexuality as it is about gender roles.

The fact that the boys . manage to continue to pursue their alternative lifestyle, despite harass.ment from everyone from the black girls on the corner to men on the street to older men armed with weapons, is rebellion and danger enough. "These kids are good kids who get messed with all the time." Clark observes. "They have to fight to be themselves. The pressure to conform to ghetto standards is stronger than it might be elsewhere." "Wassup Rockers" opens with a candle vigil on the side of the street for a close friend who was shot and killed in the neighborhood. Clark had film crewmembers light a new wick for the scene and it was part of a script, however, he says he had known the teenage boy, and that when he died, he wrote a new opening for the film.

The adventure in Beverly Hills',' begins when the group travels by bus to a preppy high school with a sweet skateboarding spot. There, two wealthy girls (inspired by Paris and Nicky Hilton, according to Clark) size up Jonathan and his friend. Kiko and invite them back to their house. Eventually, a police officer chases the boys off the stairs they had been jumping off of, and they end up taking the girls up on their invitation, but the visit is cut short, and the boys arrive dirty and scraped in a' number of scenes and parties typical of Beverly Hills. Supermodel and reality television star Janis Dickinson makes an appearance in the chase sequence as a very rich, alcoholic housewife, and a triggerhappy Charlton Heston figure, who Clark admits has an uncanny resemblance to Clint Eastwood. "I was just tripping on people^ who live in Beverly Hills," ClarK* explains. "In all my films, I'm always* making social comments." ' But the focus is always on the^ kids themselves and staying true totheir personalities throughout 'thej film - using their real names andj actual relationships.
