Exclusive: Quiver Distribution has acquired North American rights to Nick Richey’s sophomore feature 1-800-hot-nite, slating it for release November 4.
The coming-of-age drama written and directed by Richey centers on Tommy (Dallas Dupree Young), whose world is turned upside down from the moment police break down his door and arrest his father. Faced with a parentless future, Tommy escapes child protective services’ custody with his best friends Steve (Mylen Bradford) and O’Neill (Gerrison Machado) into the L.A. streets—packed with men trying to rob them, cops chasing them, a python, a fist fight, a first kiss and phone sex. Throughout it all, Tommy keeps calling an 800 number, as he feels the woman on the line (Ali Richey) is the only adult he can confide in. By the end of the night, the boys’ brotherhood breaks down as they cross the threshold into adulthood.

The #nitTWITS YouTube channel is similarly inspired by the ubiquitous social media site, but its creators have no time for other people's tweets. Instead, they craft offbeat sketches based off of two or three line tweets from their own feeds. Boiled down to its essence, #nitTWITS is a series about the annoyances and anxieties of everyday life.
