Lance, Clay, and Darby have spent their childhoods drinking, wreaking havoc, and filming crude stunts in their small town. Everyone hates them. Wanting to finally prove their lives have meaning, the boys set out to make a “real movie” and in the process are forced to confront emotions and experiences they’ve never considered: love, loss, and ultimately, what it means to grow up.

00:00Crashland being kind of a love letter to growing up in Canada, I think that there is a sweetness
00:06and I think like a politeness to even dysfunction and drama. The movie's about young stuntmen,
00:14so even when you're doing something kind of, I don't know, against the grain or like naughty,
00:19they always end up, you know, let's say you're filming a stunt on a farm somewhere and a guy
00:23who owns the farm comes out and says like, you know, what are you kids doing? Immediately you
00:27get out of the stunt, you go, sorry, sir, we're just going to do this thing really quick. Like,
00:31and to me, there's something so funny about that because I think maybe there's more of an outward,
00:38I don't know, like aggression maybe in other cultures, you know, when you have kind of like
00:44childhood rebellion, at least maybe in America or something or even England, there's kind of a real
00:51toughness and a real sharpness to rebellion. Whereas like, I always find it really funny
00:56because with Canadian rebellion, there's also kind of like a weird passive aggressive, but also
01:02like sweetness to it. And so to me, that's kind of what was the anchor of the film.
01:08That is what it is. It's polite punks.
