Michael Angarano is headed to “Sacramento.” After a solid career as a child actor (the young version of the “Almost Famous” star), morphing into plenty of good indie roles (“Wendy,” “Snow Angels”) and flexing his chops in comedy (“Gentlemen Broncos,” “Ceremony”), young Angarano is all grown up and despite the boyish good looks is actually 37-years-old now.
Coming into his own in recent years—good turns in “The Stanford Prison Experiment” and “Oppenheimer,” Angarano has moved into writing and directing. His debut, “Avenues,” starring himself, Juno Temple, Nicholas Braun and Ari Graynor hit in 2019 and his follow-up film, “Sacramento,” also featuring an excellent cast arrives this spring.
“Sacramento” had its world premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Festival. The film centers on Rickey (Angarano), an energetic and free-spirited young man who convinces Glenn (Cera), his long-time friend who’s settled into domestic life, to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento.
The indie was written by Michael Angarano and Chris Smith and producers on the project include Stephen Braun, Chris Abernathy, Eric B. Fleischman, Sam Grey, Angarano, and Smith.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Following the death of his father, energetic and free-spirited Rickey (Michael Angarano) convinces long-time friend Glenn (Michael Cera) to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. Frustrated by Rickey’s Peter Pan complex, Glenn is encouraged by his pregnant wife Rosie (Kristen Stewart) to go on the adventure to reconnect. In the worn yellow seats of Glenn’s old college convertible, the two men confront their anxiety-ridden lives, addressing past mistakes and questioning what their futures hold.
Vertical will release “Sacramento” in theaters nationwide on April 11, 2025. Watch the trailer below.
