Maine Filmmakers' 'Childish Things' Gains Momentum with Festival Success and Home State Screenings

The indie feature 'Childish Things', a comedy-drama by Maine filmmakers Nick and Cash Cassidy, has been met with enthusiastic responses at film festivals in California and Vermont, including a sold-out Los Angeles premiere. The film, which follows a 30-year-old musician's cross-country journey to sell his tour bus amidst personal pressures, was produced on a minimal budget with a tight-knit crew, highlighting the Cassidys' commitment to authentic storytelling.

Selected as the opening night feature for the Vacationland Film Festival in Biddeford, 'Childish Things' is now preparing for its Maine premiere on August 2nd at Entertainment Cinemas in South Portland. The film's success underscores the viability of grassroots filmmaking, with the Cassidy brothers utilizing borrowed equipment and casting friends and family to bring their vision to life.
