“For every Superman, there is a Deadpool. For every The Notebook, there is a 500
Days of Summer. For every American Pie, there is a Juno, a Me, Earl and the Dying
Girl and now… Public Schooled, a film that turns its perceived genre on its head by
being smart, hilarious, creative and full of heart.” - Josh Epstein, co-writer and co-pro-
ducer
LOGLINE
When socially awkward home-schooled kid Liam falls in love for one-legged beauty
Anastasia, he abandons his mother’s suffocating love and enrolls in public school,
entering an eye-opening world of sex, drugs and social mayhem.
SHORT SYNOPSIS
Public Schooled is a whimsical, coming-of-age film masked as a teenaged romantic
comedy. Sixteen years old and homeschooled his entire life, Liam (Daniel Doheny) is
a sheltered, socially awkward genius whose whole universe revolves around his sin-
gle mom, Claire (Judy Greer). When early acceptance to Cambridge University
collides with love at first sight, Liam deliberately bombs his final exams and forces
his way into public school so he can let loose for the first time before heading
overseas to become the world’s (second) best astronomer. Arriving at public
school under the borrowed identity of a sick student, Maria Sanchez (Eva Day),
Liam sets his sights on Anastasia (Siobhan Williams), a confident and popular one-
legged girl – and pretty much the only person who notices him. Disaster strikes
after Liam, realizing Anasta-sia’s interest was only imagined, tries to sabotage her
relationship with a jock, BDC (Andrew Herr). Claire only makes things worse by
trying to coach her son through his teenage rebellion. After Liam cuts the apron
strings, he scores the affection of an older woman (Grace Park) at a wild college
party. Buoyed by the victory, Liam relaxes into his own skin and takes his first steps
towards manhood. Goodbye mom...hello cruel world.
2DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
Director, Co-writer Kyle Rideout
The story behind Public Schooled sprung from co-writer, Josh Epstein, and my fasci-
nation with home schooled kids whom we knew professionally and personally. We
were compelled by their striking intelligence and very adult way of communicating
as well as their sometimes-eccentric social cues. As one home schooled girl told me,
when she sneezed at public school and someone said, “Bless you,” she thought they
were being mean. I am not home schooled myself and in fact I think I might be the
very opposite. As a kid I moved around a lot and ended up going to 7 different schools.
I was very much Public Schooled.
Embarking on my second feature film, I found it was an opportunity to explore not
only home schooling, but also being a parent. Being a self-diagnosed helicopter dad
myself, I think we have entered into a new era of trying to bubble wrap our children
to cushion them as they navigate life.
With Public Schooled I wanted to create a bright, fast, and fun movie, so looked to
films and many photographs for inspiration. Some films that inspired me were: Juno,
500 Days of Summer, and Napoleon Dynamite.

4ABOUT THE STORY
Meet Liam and Claire Heap -- 16-year-old son and single mother, homeschooled stu-
dent and teacher, best friends forever. Their relationship is so tight, he cuts her hair
and she snuggles under the covers with him at night. They are floating along blissfully
in their co-dependent bubble without any of the normal child-parent boundaries –
quite literally, they don’t even have bedroom doors in their house -- cramming for the
day when Liam will go off to Cambridge University (well, Claire might tag along) to
become the second-best astronomer in the world, after Stephen Hawking. But then
disaster strikes when Liam goes to the local public school to take his equivalency
exam and gets swept off his feet by a hot one-legged girl. It’s love at first sight, at least
for Liam, who deliberately fails the test in order to enter the alien-like universe of
high school. With their domestic axis thrown off orbit, Claire clings to Liam the only
way she knows how -- by haplessly trying to tutor him in sex, drugs and teenage re-
bellion. How far will one mom go to expose her endearingly geeky kid to life?
Collaborating here on their second feature film, co-writers Josh Epstein and Kyle
Rideout understand the nuances of familiarity. In shared interviews, the former class-
mates and close friends have a tendency to finish each other’s sentences. For example:
Epstein: Both of us know people who were homeschooled by their parents. We were
fascinated by the almost religious-like way some people so firmly believe in it. We
wanted to honor that awkwardness of a kid who has grown up with this his whole life
and then gets thrown into the real world.
Rideout: It’s amazing how much the script changed. Originally, they were in the
woods…
Epstein: And there was this bear…
Rideout: And the bear was the kid’s friend. But now that’s all gone.
In the hands of less talented writers, the rich, untapped world of homeschooling
might have been treated with condescension and the co-dependency trope could have
turned creepy. In Public Schooled, however, this quirky mother-son relationship be-
comes a heartfelt comedy that is funny but not farcical, wacky yet genuine. With wit
and a charming sense of innocence, the film explores the universal themes of growing
up, letting go, being the underdog outsider, and gaining the self-confidence to em-
brace your freaky freak.
“It’s a universal story about a parent and their awkward teenager,” says Epstein. “How
do you find a connection and maintain a relationship when there are so many distrac-
tions and everything is trying to rip it away? I think Public Schooled is relatable to
anyone who has had a child, anyone who has had a parent, anyone who has owned a
pet.”
Rideout certainly empathized with Claire. “I am a father of two girls and I’m in this
boat too. We're all bubble-wrapping our kids and trying to keep them safe and want-
ing to check in on everything they do at school. I think that’s the button we’re pushing
in this film. It’s hard to let go.”
5Judy Greer, who plays the helicopter parent in this multi-layered love triangle be-
tween a boy and his mother, a boy and a girl and a boy and himself, says she fell head
over heels for Claire as soon as she got her hands on the script. “Usually, when I start
reading and I see a good female role, I flip back to the front page to see if a woman
wrote it. When I saw two male writers, I was like, ‘Whoa. Awesome. Cool.’ That was
my first impression. I thought Claire was a force. Underneath that, I appreciated her
vulnerability and her fear of losing her baby.”
For Daniel Doheny, who plays Liam, it was easy to see the other side from a teenager’s
perspective. “High school is such a formative group of years. You learn so much about
yourself. Some people meet their best friends, some people meet the person they stay
with for the rest of their life, some people say ‘Oh, this sucks and they leave.’ But
Liam’s never had any of that. He’s moving up to his twenties and he has no friends. He
needs to meet people. It’s his whole life. He wants to change so the stakes are huge.”
Siobhan Williams, who plays Anastasia, the one-legged cancer survivor who takes
Liam’s breath away and is the catalyst for his rebellion, believes the film will resonate
with Millennials who are beginning to appreciate self-expression, for good reason.
“Nowadays, there is so much judgment engrained into our culture. The kids are all
trying to wear the same kinds of clothes, use the same makeup, do their hair the same
way. It’s all about fitting in.
“The beautiful thing about Liam,” she continues, “is that he is who he is. He doesn’t
know any other way. He hasn’t been through the public-school system. He hasn’t been
taught to conform. He wants to be accepted, perhaps by himself more than anything
else. But even if people think he’s weird, he just keeps doing what he’s doing. Public
Schooled is about embracing your awkwardness and individuality, regardless of what
the status quo says is cool. It’s about being comfortable with who you truly are.”

Russell Peters - Mr. Germaine
Only a handful of today’s artists can claim their success began with YouTube, and even
less, if any, having then been named alongside such luminaries as Richard Pryor,
George Carlin and Eddie Murphy in Rolling Stone’s recently released list of the 50 Best
Comics of All Time. In comedian Russell Peters’ case, “success” may be a drastic un-
derstatement.
Peters started doing stand-up at the age of nineteen at open mics in his native Toronto
in 1989. He spent the next fifteen years honing his craft at clubs across Canada and
the United Kingdom.
In 2004, Peters gained critical and global recognition for his CTV “Comedy Now!” spe-
cial which wound up on YouTube. Peters says: “I never put the special on YouTube. I
still don’t know how to upload anything on the web to this day.” That upload launched
a new level of fame and unforeseen success. It also led to larger and larger shows, not
only in arenas in his native Canada, where he became the first comedian to sell-out
Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in 2007 (as of today, six times and over 100,000 people),
but to arenas in the United States, the UK, Australia, South Africa, the Middle East and
Asia.
The subsequent tours were captured in his phenomenally successful specials broad-
cast on Showtime and Comedy Central: Outsourced in 2006; Red, White and Brown in
2008; and, The Green Card Tour in 2010, which went on to set a UK attendance record
for a one-off comedy show with over 16,000 fans in attendance at London’s O2 Arena.
In 2013, Peters became the first comedian to create a Netflix Original Comedy Special.
Recorded in front of over 14,000 fans at Sydney, Australia’s Allphones Arena, Notori-
ous became a global success for Netflix. In conjunction with Notorious, Peters allowed
cameras to follow him on-tour for a behind-the-scenes, four-part documentary series,
Russell Peters vs. The World, also exclusively for Netflix. Peters’ most recent world
tour, Almost Famous, a celebration of his twenty-five years in the business, once again
set attendance records across the globe, from Canada to Singapore to Madison Square
Garden, resulting in his being nominated alongside Jeff Dunham and Kevin Hart as
8“Billboard’s Top Touring Comic in 2015.” The corresponding special, Russell Peters:
Almost Famous, premiered on Netflix in October of 2016.
Peters hasn’t stopped there, as evidenced by his recently being rewarded with a 2017
Peabody Award for Executive Producing the critically acclaimed Netflix Documentary
Hip-Hop Evolution. He and his production company have also self-financed and self-
produced his specials, while his corny, light-hearted take on Christmas, 2011’s “A Rus-
sell Peters Christmas,” became the highest rated Christmas special in Canadian Net-
work, CTV history.
In 2010 Peters book, Call Me Russell was published by Random House Canada and
went on to become a number one bestseller. The book was a candid memoir of Peters’
life, family and career and is a must-read for any up-and-coming comedian.
Peters has no shortage of accolades. He maintains a staggering social media presence
as his YouTube videos have amassed well over 125 million views, and a Twitter fol-
lowing of almost four million people. Professionally, his DVD’s have sold over 750,000
copies, while his Notorious World Tour became the highest attended comedy tour ever
in Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Lebanon, South Africa, Thailand, Indo-
nesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and his home country of Canada. Peters has
sold-out Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, San Jose’s HP Pavilion, New
Jersey’s Prudential Centre, the Chicago Theatre, LA’s Nokia Theatre, the Sydney Opera
House and the Hammersmith Apollo. In November 2012, Peters became the first
stand-up comic to perform at Brooklyn’s Barclays Centre with over 10,000 fans in
attendance. As a result, Peters has been named on the Forbes List as one of the top
ten highest earning comics in North America in 2009, 2010, 2013 (finishing third),
2015 (fourth) and 2016.
Peters has transitioned into both the small and big screens, having recently starred in
such movies as The Clapper opposite Amanda Seyfried, Ed Helms and Tracy Morgan;
Supercon with John Malkovich and Ryan Kwanten; and, Public Schooled opposite Judy
Greer. He also recurs on the CBS hit show “Life in Pieces,” lent his voice alongside
Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray and others in Disney’s recent adaptation of The Jungle
Book and was recently seen starring opposite Faizon Love in the indie comedy Ripped.
He was a judge alongside Roseanne Barr and Keenan Ivory Wayans for NBC’s reboot
of “Last Comic Standing,” and lent his voice to the animated feature, Ribbit, and to
numerous episodes of the iconic animated Fox television show “Family Guy,” “Bojack
Horseman” and “Bob’s Burgers.” He was also awarded a Gemini Award, Canada’s ver-
sion of the Emmy, for hosting the country’s Juno Awards Show. Other notable film
roles include the recent Jon Favreau directed indie smash hit Chef, the 2011 sci-fi
movie Source Code, alongside Jake Gyllenhaal, the Canadian ice hockey hit Breakaway,
where he also served as Executive Producer and the Eva Mendes indie, Girl in Progress
alongside Mendes and Patricia Arquette. Peters has appeared on The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno, The Jimmy Fallon Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, Lopez Tonight, Craig Fer-
guson, the Queen Latifah Show and Def Comedy Jam.
Peters was born and raised in Canada, after parents had emigrated from India in the
1960’s. From a solidly working-class family, Peters learned the value of levity from
his father and Russell’s own observations on the family’s struggles with racism and
9multicultural differences. Peters has also given back to the community that embraced
him by creating The Russell Peters North Peel Scholarship, rewarding deserving col-
lege students from his old high school with a $20,000.00 scholarship, and a generous
donation to his hometown Brampton Civic Hospital, where their Palliative Services
Wing was subsequently named after his late father. Peters has performed for the
troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, Djibouti, Pearl Harbor, the USS Eisenhower aircraft car-
rier through the USO and on the Canadian vessel HMCS Winnipeg.
Peters resides in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. When not on tour he spends every day
with his five-year-old daughter, Crystianna. He is an ardent DJ and hip-hop junkie who
often gets offers for celebrity DJ gigs when on-tour and off. Though success seems to
be at every turn for Peters, there are many more turns to come.
“In the future, there won’t be any more black or white, or brown and white; everyone
will just be beige.” – Russell Peters

Stone, TV Guide, The New York Times Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and Newsday.
For her role on “Hawaii Five-0,” Park who brings to heart, suspense, tragedy and sen-
suality to the iconic role of Kono Kalakaua (not as a man as originally written, but as
a woman!) was nominated in both 2011 and 2012 for a “Teen Choice Award” for
Choice TV Actress: Action. Park earned a nomination for Outstanding Newcomer
Award in 2006 by the “Asian Excellence Awards” for her artistry. In 2010, she re-
ceived the “Achievement Award in Entertainment” by the KoreAm Awards. In 2014,
Park was honored with the “APEX Inspiration Award” and inducted into the “Asian
Hall of Fame.”
Born in Los Angeles and raised in Canada, Park received a degree in Psychology from
the University of British Columbia before turning her attention to film and television.
Immediate acclaim brought her "The Border" for which she was nominated a “Gemini
Award” for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Dramatic Role, and the re-
spected film credit for "The Cleaner" starring opposite Benjamin Bratt.
Currently, Park resides in Vancouver, British Columbia while shooting Season Seven

lead role for seven years.

he moved with his family to the small town of St. George, Ontario. He is the eldest of
the three boys in his family.
In his teenage years, his family relocated to Kingston, Ontario where he first gained

Girl” and the original CraveTV series, “Letterkenny,” debuting in early 2016.
11ABOUT THE FILMMAKERS
The task of taking Public Schooled from script to screen has been a long journey for
co-writers Josh Epstein (producer) and Kyle Rideout (director). The two collabora-
tors and close friends have known each other since they were classmates at Langara
College’s Studio 58, one of Canada’s best professional theatre training schools, in Van-
couver, B.C. After graduation, they performed together on a national tour and with
prestigious local theatre companies, Bard on the Beach and the (now-closed) Vancou-
ver Playhouse Theatre Company.
“We were sitting on a couch at the Playhouse Theatre rehearsal hall years ago and
said, ‘Hey, we should write some stuff together,’ “Epstein explains. “We literally
started brainstorming ideas right there and then.”
They wrote two scripts, Public Schooled and Eadweard. The latter was a psychologi-
cal drama about a controversial turn-of-the-century photographer, who photo-
graphed nude and deformed subjects and became the godfather of cinema.
“Everyone told us to make Public Schooled first because it was a teen comedy,” says
Rideout. “And that’s what you make for your first film,” Epstein interjects.
They did it the other way around to prove what they were capable of. The epic period
film went on to win a slew of awards around the world, including a Canadian Screen
Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, five Leo Awards, and five audience
choice awards at international film festivals.
“Kyle and I strive to make films that surprise people, that push ambition, and that
execute at a higher level than what the budget expects us to,” says Epstein.
Co-producer Adam Folk, who also attended Studio 58 (as did cast members Andrew
McNee and Daniel Doheny), stayed in touch after moving to New York. “When Kyle
first started sending me his short films, I was instantly struck by how talented he was
– the visual style, the storytelling ability. A lot of that came from the script. Josh and
Kyle write everything together. But the visual style of storytelling is very special and
unique. He has great vision and I was very excited to help him make his second
movie.”
Public Schooled, says Folk, is going to be a cinematic standout. “For something that
could have been very generic, we’ve gone the opposite way. The whimsical nature of
it – things jump out and you’re not in reality anymore. You’re in Liam’s mind and see-
ing what he sees. That’s what sets it apart from your typical high-school comedy fare.
It’s offbeat. It’s whimsical. Its fantasy mixed with comedy. “It’s quirky, he says, laugh-
ing.”
12CASTING
The Heaps
The casting all started with Claire Heap. For a mother-son relationship this uncon-
ventional and complex, the filmmakers needed a special actor with the perfect blend
of kindness, heart, humor and dynamism, one who could take the character to the
edge without pushing her over the top. They knew they wanted Judy Greer, who is
one of the best comedic actors out there (“Arrested Development,“ “Two and a Half
Men”), but also has tremendous dramatic range, which she recently flexed for a
heartbreaking subplot in Ivan Reitman’s Men, Women and Children and is rumored to
be taking roles in upcoming films directed by Linklater and Eastwood. Luckily, Greer
loved the script.
“Claire is a postal worker, which is a secret dream of mine personally,” Greer jokes.
“So yeah, I was excited about that.” But the real challenge was to infuse the character
with sympathy. “I want her to never seem creepy. And I’ve never felt like Claire was
lonely. I think there’s a really good reason why she wants to protect her son. She is a
single mother. She lives with her mother in the house she grew up in. She got pregnant
by accident and had her baby and has completely devoted her whole life to her son,
Liam. There is nothing that she won’t do for him, nothing that she doesn’t want to
teach him. They have an incredibly close, enmeshed relationship.
This is the first feature film role for newcomer Daniel Doheny, who plays Liam. But
the filmmakers believed they had a breakout star. It just came a lot quicker than any-
one could have imagined. After they sent his Public Schooled audition tape to Kate
McKinnon’s agent Fred Hashagen, he immediately signed him and he landed one his
first auditions to play Alex Strangelove in Alex Strangelove, produced by Ben Stiller
for Netflix. Epstein and Rideout first met Doheny at their alma mater, Studio 58,
where they were work-shopping the script with students in its early stages. They kept
him in mind for the part. Then he blew everyone away in the audition. “He completely
stole this part away from people who had way more experience,” says Epstein. “It was
unanimous. You fall in love with him. He’s a very handsome young man who can play
awkward well.” Folk agrees. “I think he’s going to be a giant, breakout star someday.
He’s brought things to the character I didn’t know were there. His interpretation of
the lines is so natural -- he feels so natural, yet his character is so awkward. You really
feel his struggle.”
The Grownups
For a small indie film, Public Schooled boasts a bevy of big stars for its supporting
cast of crazy grownups.
Grace Park (“Hawaii 5-0,” “Battlestar Galactica”) plays Mackenzie, another home-
schooling mother and Claire’s only friend. “She’s such a great actress, but this was
really diving into a different world for her,” says Rideout. “To see her uptight charac-
ter let loose at the party was amazing. We shot the hot tub scene in the middle of
December when there was snow all over the ground. Her face! It was incredible.”
13Andrea Bang (Kim’s Convenience) plays her daughter, Autumn.
Russell Peters, one of Canada’s most famous comedians, plays an eccentric guidance
counselor. “We know he’s hilarious, but he brought a great sense of character to the
part,” says Epstein. “We figured out a way to do a lot of improvisation in his scenes.
He had the entire crew in stitches the whole day. On set, off set, on camera, off camera
– he just kept cracking us up.”
Andrew McNee plays Mr. Kelly, the high school principal who becomes Claire’s ally
and potential love interest. One of the most beloved theatre stars in Vancouver, he
also attended Studio 58 with the filmmakers. “We asked to him to read for the part
and it was an instantaneous decision,” Folk recalls. “That was the character. He takes
the lines and makes them new. He’s loveable. He’s goofy. He’s all over the place in a
great, bumbling way.”
The Teenagers
Brashear High is populated by a slew of talented, young newcomers to watch out for.
Siobhan Williams (Anastasia) brings the perfect blend of sarcasm, wit, attractive-
ness and sweetness to a role that was tough to cast. She is a cancer survivor who is
popular, yet much more grounded than her peers, an object of desire (to touch her
prosthetic leg is a “legendary” quest at the school), yet coolly confident. “We didn’t
want the clichéd popular girl,” says Epstein. “Siobhan really played against type and
there is a lot of vulnerability to her performance. Even though she has all the friends
in the world and everyone loves her, she can relate to someone who comes in feeling
like an outsider because there’s a piece of her that feels like that.”
Williams appreciated that her character had more depth than the typical popular girl.
But she says it was really hard to play one of the only straight characters in a cast of
clowns. “Especially when I was next to Liam, who is so awkward and made me want
to be awkward right back. I just wanted to make sure I gave the character the inner
strength and maturity she deserved.”
Andrew Herr (BDC) is Liam’s nemesis, a bully with a smile and an Australian accent.
“He did a great job of playing a character that is posturing all the time, but is beginning
to show the cracks,” Folk says of actor who stars in CraveTV’s breakout hit “Let-
terkenny.”
Alex Barima (Wesley) plays Liam’s new best friend, the master of sexy Halloween
costumes. “He could probably do stand up,” says Epstein. “He has incredible delivery
and comic timing. He’s dynamic and also someone everyone should look out for.”
Eva Day (Maria) is the girl who provides Liam with his stolen identity. “You’re talking
about a character who doesn’t come around until the end, but when she does, you
really want her to be someone who jumps out,” Folk explains. “Eva just has that IT
factor – not too glammed up or over the top, but there is something very attractive
that pulls you in. She has substance.”
14PRODUCTION VALUES
Otherworldly. Whimsical. Bright. Fast. Gorgeous. Director Kyle Rideout has imbued
Public Schooled with a visual tone and look that is as captivating as it is unusual for
a film of this genre.
“Public Schooled is a coming-of-age story wearing a rom-com outfit. The world is
lifted, but still based in reality,” he explains. “I wanted the film to be very bright, fun
and fresh. We shot with a little style in the framing choices, but then gave it some pace
when we were cutting and editing.”
For most of the dialogue scenes, the camera is simple with a steady handheld feel.
When things break into fantasy, the camera has more flourish and movement, but the
editing is pushed tighter and faster. Cosmic visual effects are sprinkled throughout
the film as touching points for the lead character.
Like Liam, the negative-framing style is a little quirky and unusual. “Stirling Bancroft
and I talked about wanting to go with something unique that tells a story in itself.
Instead of having the head fully in the screen, you might find it in the bottom right-
hand corner. There is a lot of negative space in the framing.”
Editor Yvann Thibaudeau drives everything towards the same tight, fast goal. “We
don’t linger in any moments or wallow in any emotion. We keep the story moving.”
Soft lighting sets a naturalistic backdrop for bright colors – lots of turquoise, pink and
green. “It really pops in the wardrobe. I grew up in the nineties and this is a little
throwback to that fun, fresh feel.”
