Pump Up the Volume (1990) is a comedy-drama written and directed by Allan Moyle and starring Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis. The original music score was composed by Cliff Martinez.
Filming locations included Saugus High School and other locations around Saugus, California, USA. Although the film takes place at the fictional "Hubert Humphrey High" in Arizona, the real school's markers can be seen in a few tracking shots.
The movie won the Golden Space Needle Award at the Seattle International Film Festival, beating out the festival favorite, Denys Arcand's Jesus of Montreal. Reportedly, some audience members booed when the film was named the winner. Moyle's film also won the Audience Award at the Deauville Film Festival.
