Mike White plays an 'Albino Slick Rick' in Gentlemen Broncos

BlackTree TV's Shauna Bain Smith sits down with Mike White to talk about his new film Gentlemen Broncos...

What do science fiction space odysseys, popcorn balls, mythical yeast, rebellious teenagers, plagiarism and Dr. Ronald Chevaliers esteemed anous workshop have in common? They are all a part of the quirky new universe of GENTLEMEN BRONCOS, the latest comedy from director Jared Hess, the mind behind NAPOLEON DYNAMITE and NACHO LIBRE. A salute to oddball adolescent artistes everywhere, GENTLEMEN BRONCOS weaves together a series of narratives revolving around Benjamin Purvis (Michael Angarano), a loveable underdog whose passion for writing science-fiction novels is turned upside down when his idol, the celebrated fantasy author Dr. Ronald Chevalier (Jemaine Clement), steals his story at a writers camp.

Benjamin, a 17-year-old science fiction prodigy, lives in a geodesic dome in Utah with his mother (Jennifer Coolidge), an aspiring nightgown designer working on a line she calls Decent Beginnings. As a homeschooler, Benjamin doesnt have much experience in the real world, but his imagination takes him to fantastical worlds far from the drab small town in which he lives. When he finds out that his idol, sci-fi legend Dr. Ronald Chevalier will be teaching at Cletus Festival (the best writers camp in Utah), its the chance of a lifetime for the young author. He packs up his best manuscript, Yeast Lords: The Bronco Years, and sets out to fulfill his destiny. There he meets some new, equally misfit friends—budding romance novelist Tabatha (Halley Feiffer) and adolescent auteur Lonnie (Hector Jimenez), a filmmaker with more than 80 films to his credit.

Benjamins attendance at the festival has two stunning results. His novel is optioned by Lonnie to be made into a full-length, lower-than-low budget motion picture, and Chevalier himself is so impressed by Benjamins work that, in a desperate ploy to save his own career, he decides to make a few minor changes in the manuscript and publish it as his own novel, The Chronicles of Brutus and Balzaak.

As Benjamins world catapults into a series of bizarre wrong turns, the story of Yeast Lords is seen in three different points of view: Benjamins original story, Chevaliers bastardized version, and Lonnies low-fi film adaptation. These three renditions are a celebration of the ridiculous world of cult science fiction films. Sam Rockwell turns in a pair of hilarious performances as Bronco/Brutus, who alongside his childhood best friend, Vanaya/Venonka (Suzanne May), heroically take on the evil overlords of the yeast factory in a desperate effort to save civilization.

GENTLEMEN BRONCOS stars Michael Angarano (THE FORBIDDEN KINGDOM), Sam Rockwell (MOON), Jemaine Clement (HBOs Flight of the Conchords), Jennifer Coolidge (FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION), Mike White (YEAR OF THE DOG), Hector Jimenez (NACHO LIBRE) and Halley Feiffer (THE SQUID AND THE WHALE). The film is directed by Jared Hess from a script by Jared and Jerusha Hess (NAPOLEON DYNAMITE), and produced by John J. Kelly (INTO THE WILD) and Mike White.

The running time on this film is 90 minutes and is rated PG-13
