First Date gets a UK release date

Shy high schooler Mike (Tyson Brown) finally summons the courage to ask out his badass neighbour Kelsey (Shelby Duclos) only to realise he’s missing a key element for a successful date – a car. Panicked and low on cash, he’s conned into buying a beat-up ‘65 Chrysler. Mike’s plan to win over Kelsey soon turns into a surreal misadventure when they are they find themselves at the mercy of two cops, a criminal gang, and a vengeful cat lady. A night fuelled by desire, bullets, and burning rubber makes any other first date seem like a walk in the park.

Directed by duo Manuel Crosby and Darren Knapp, the crime comedy adventure made the official Sundance 2021 selection and is now set to arrive on UK digital 17 January from 101 Films.
