Josh Hamilton,
Chris Eigeman,
Carlos Jacott, and features
Eric Stoltz of
Some Kind Of Wonderful,
Olivia d'Abo and
Parker Posey, premiered in
1995 at the prestigious
New York Film Festival to critical acclaim. Baumbach — who later wrote and directed the film
The Squid and the Whale, and co-wrote
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou with longtime friend
Wes Anderson — was chosen as one of
Newsweek's "Ten New Faces of 1996". The film appeared in several "Top Ten" lists, and had a lengthy run playing on the Sundance Film Channel. The long awaited
Criterion Collection DVD was released
August 22,
2006 in the U.S. Much of the film was shot at
Occidental College. Eric Stoltz's character was written into the script to get the picture to be released - and in a deleted scene he had been in a relationship with Jane.
