On the eve of their high school graduation, class president Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and fellow overachiever Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) realize that they’ve missed out on fun throughout their time in school, since both sacrificed partying and friendships for academic achievement. Upon learning that their party-going classmates also earned enrollment in prestigious universities and found lucrative job opportunities, Molly and Amy decide to make up for lost time and cram years of excitement into one wild night.

Directed by Olivia Wilde and penned by a team of writers including Katie Silberman, Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins, and Susanna Fogel, Booksmart celebrates youthful bonds and the meaningful friendships of teenage girls. The film was nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Writers Guild of America Awards, and won best first feature at the Independent Spirit Awards.

Screenwriter/producer Katie Silberman will join Pollock Theater Director Matt Ryan for a post-screening discussion of Booksmart.
