Don't You Forget About Me

A Brain, An Athlete, A Basket Case, A Princess and a Criminal all walk into detention one 1985 Saturday morning.

You know the story. Or so you thought... Forty years later, the forgotten sixth student hosts a reunion and we're all invited.

Part homage, part identity crisis, this sharp, witty, nostalgic love letter to John Hughes' iconic 1980s film is dedicated to anyone who ever wished life felt more like the movies.

DON'T YOU FORGET ABOUT ME is a percussive and poignant love letter addressed to anyone who’s ever wished their life was a little more like a movie.
