The Prankster
Synopsis
Chris Karas is the brilliant leader of The Pranksters, a secret society that rights the wrongs of high school by pulling sophisticated pranks on deserving oppressors. But with graduation looming ahead, Chris longs for more from life. Guided by the homespun wisdom of his charmingly eccentric Uncle Nick, Chris embarks on a challenging path of self-discovery and romance.
The Prankster is an American independent teen comedy in the tradition of John Hughes classics like Sixteen Candles and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Shot entirely in Marin County (San Francisco Bay Area), it has exceptional production value, features beautiful imagery and a diverse cast, as well as a world class soundtrack by Skywalker Sound, mixed by Oscar winner Gary Rizzo. The score is composed by Emmy Award Winner Charles Denler, and also features an array of pop songs by talented artists including “Impossible” by Swedish super group the Shout Out Louds; original compositions by jazz man Ralph Carney; and two songs by cast member Devon Werkheiser, who has a huge following among teens worldwide. It has aired on Showtime and Starz.
